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.
- demondemidi 3y agoHere 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.
- Gud 3y agoI 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.
