Spotify CEO Daniel Ek Was Taunted by Steve Jobs with Mystery Phone Calls
- bdcravens 7y agoThis title is different than the article, and seems to imply as fact what is merely an unverified claim in the book. Title: "‘Spotify Untold’ book claims CEO Daniel Ek was taunted by Steve Jobs with mystery phone calls" In the article: "As stress sets in, Ek becomes convinced that Apple’s Steve Jobs is calling his phone just to breathe deeply on the other end of the line, he purportedly confesses to a colleague. ..... We [the authors] have that from a trusted source. Whether Steve Jobs actually called Daniel Ek is something we can’t verify. To us, Ek’s claim is as a reflection of how paranoid and anxious he must have felt ..." "Daniel Ek declined to speak to them as they wrote the book" (so authors were going on second-hand accounts from Spotify executives and investors)
