What parallels you draw between Musk and Jobs?

Both are well known public figures (business men).

The similarity between Musk and Jobs is risk taking and bold product vision - set an impossible goal and work your people into the ground achieving it. Both men share lack of regard for anyone's feelings - huge narcissists, their way or the highway. It achieves the results but Musk has a particularly hard time dealing with failure. He is a giant snowflake who melts down if he is not worshipped.

Jobs was smart enough to stay away from the spotlight and social media. Musk, on the other hand, is extremely addicted to it.

There is something else going on, however. He is known to partake in uppers and downers like Ketamine. Extreme wealth, insecurity, obsession with public opition, and drugs are a really nasty cocktail.
