oh i know but Elon seems to fancy himself Jobs.
You are certainly right to draw a parallel--they both want to change the world--but Musk literally wants to evolve humanity.
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.
