- brianbreslin 13y agooh i know but Elon seems to fancy himself Jobs.
- cloudwalking 13y agoI don't think so. If you listen to them both speak about their companies, Jobs was more interested in revolutionizing how humans use technology. Musk is more interested in saving the human race from itself. Solar City is about renewable energy, Tesla is about vehicle safety and renewable energy, and SpaceX is about establishing life off of earth. You are certainly right to draw a parallel--they both want to change the world--but Musk literally wants to evolve humanity.
- hnnewguy 13y ago>Musk is more interested in saving the human race You know, I watch his talks (because I'm interested in the work his company's do) and listen to the investor's quarterly conference calls (because I own a small stake in TSLA) and I don't understand where the hero worship comes from. To me, Musk comes off as another shrewd business man, almost crossing over into the slick/shady end of the spectrum sometimes.
