Steve Jobs was one of America's greatest assholes

I’ve read a biography on him. He was definitely an asshole. But tbh he’s nothing comparable to someone like an Elon. Jobs fired people unceremoniously, but he didn’t buy a huge tech company and fire 2/3rds of staff and make them work weekends and holidays to get things working again. Jobs was shitty to his daughter, but if you learn about how he was disowned as a child it all starts to make sense. Not that what he did was excusable, but it’s not quite “americas greatest asshole”

I'm not a fan of them either, but at least they aren't positioned in a way to abuse their status as much as Apple is.
