not because I think you're wrong, but I want to remember running across someone else feeling like this whole thing is some bullshit.

This is the third comparison to Musk I’ve seen in like the last hour on Lemmy.

Likely because he’s a CEO being treated like they do all the work personally and the company is doomed without him. Very similar to how many people viewed Musk years ago.

Funny that I was just watching Bill Burr on Conan say the same thing about Steve Jobs like 15 years ago. People treat him like he’s Nikola Tesla level inventor, but he’s really just ordering around the nameless/faceless engineers who do the actual invention.
I think collectively we’re getting burned out on hero worship or the lone genius myth. Every advancement is a collective effort.

Except Jobs was fired in the 80s and the company did go to shit without him. They were weeks away from insolvency when they hired him back. He threw out most of the companies products and pivoted to the likes of the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad. And while people like Jonny Ive were hired during Jobs absence, he’s not known for any of the work prior to Jobs returning. He also hired Tim Cook.

Yeah. I agree with the assessment from a superficial level.

We’ve seen it time and time again where the 100s of engineers that make things happen get completely ignored for the one guy that says good things in public.
