I don't think you can compare the degree of vileness between Musk and Jobs. They both were notorious for abusing employees, and living in reality bubbles (except one company's value is real and the others is over-inflated stock price). The stories of jobs were focused on him demanding perfection, versus Musk rage-firing people on a whim. Musk wins the race to the bottom by orders of magnitude. Ex.: Twitter existed when Jobs was around and Jobs never turned into an cringey right-wing edgelord that stoked cultural divisions by aiding and amplifying the message of the worst people in society.

On the other hand, Jobs would buy a new Mercedes every week just so he could park on the handicap spot closest to the entrance of the Apple office building. Not sure which is worse.

  Here is some investigation into that: https://www.inc.com/bill-murphy-jr/heres-truly-surprising-reason-why-steve-jobs-got-a-new-car-every-6-months.html https://www.inc.com/bill-murphy-jr/heres-truly-surprising-re... Not that I'm a Jobs fanboy, he's still a toxic shit messiah-complex execution-genius (all can be true), but don't just hyperbolize because it fits your narrative. Like the overblown story about Musk's emerald mine. This is the same thing: a Jobs/Musk hater pushing a heavily modified version of a decades-old story told by a third party, but based on a grain of truth. I've known rich people who love getting stuff for free even though they have money falling out their ass. It's a disease.

    I don't understand your point here. It is well documented that Steve Jobs would frequently park in handicap spots, generally considered a dick move. https://www.cultofmac.com/2613/steve-jobs-still-parking-in-handicapped-spaces-the-pictures/ https://www.cultofmac.com/2613/steve-jobs-still-parking-in-h... Whether he got a new car every week or 6 months or whatever because he preferred to drive one without a license plate for aesthetic reasons(and not so he could park in a handicap spot) is irrelevant.

      Do you always respond this way when someone calls out your whataboutism and exaggerations?
