Steve knew the value of communication and respect, and when to give it and when not to, and how that strategically applied to Apple as a company. Elon knows none of these things - ego is his north star.
It served Musk well earlier but Twitter has shown that he was lucky. It will be interesting to see how the Cybertruck fiasco impacts his ability to lead Tesla.
It's easy to shit on Musk (and I'm happy to do it), but I think it's important to recognize past contributions for what they are. I have zero respect for him otherwise.
