I appreciate the thoughtful reply. I'm not saying Jobs deserves zero credit. Woz himself respected the man, so who am I to disagree. As you pointed out, he had some visionary traits. I just think he's highly overrated, and his contributions, while significant, could have been provided by many others. He just wasn't the magic unicorn he was lauded as, IMO.

Comparing Musk to a billionaire Michael Scott is gold. And I agree with the point that Jobs was smart and Musk is a dumbass.
