Except that Jobs and Apple are all about secrecy, and while they may hype up things they don’t announce things until they exist. Elon’s Twitter account is practically the inverse of Apple.
- ajross 6y agoThe secrecy thing was very much a part of the iPhone era. Jobs oversold the Apple III for months before its underwhelming release decades earlier, and the culture he left behind spent years promising a 68040 machine that Motorola couldn't deliver. It's true that "surprise release" was a Jobs thing where it isn't a Musk thing. I just don't know how definitional that really is -- at the end of the day they're selling very different products with different sales processes. My point was just that they both could lie with a straight face and make 60% of the audience believe them on a reliable basis.
