There's a greater tendency to treat Elon like a Tony Stark archetype whose singular genius and skill are responsible for his accomplishments than there is for other CEOs. No one would claim that Steve Jobs personally invented portable music players, or that Jeff Bezos invented internet commerce, but they will claim that there would be no electric cars or private space travel if not for Elon Musk, even given the same employees and funding.
- bhouston 1y agoSteve Jobs is responsible for the iPhone, the iPod and the iPad because he allocated resource to these initiatives. People did give him credit for these. He wasn't the first to think of the smartphone but he did create the iconic realization that also got mass adoption. Jeff Bezos does get credit for Amazon's work like Amazon, AWS and Kindle among others. Because he did allocate the resources to this and manage the company in this direction.
