Steve jobs was not a great engineer.

He was ruthless, manipulative and lacking empathy - like Musk.

And Apple never would have existed without Jobs.

Apple was 90 days from bankruptcy when the Second Coming of Jobs occurred. He took the same company, with the same engineers, from near bankruptcy to $347 billion.

Again, same engineers. 90 days from bankruptcy to $347 billion. Jobs was the magic ingredient - like Musk.
