Just as Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has seen Apple's Steve Jobs up close, he also knows Tesla and SpaceX owner Elon Musk. |
Tesla and SpaceX, which make electric cars and reusable rockets, are now being discussed regularly. What if Elon Musk is the next Steve Jobs? Bloomberg asked this question to Bill Gates, one of the richest people in the world.
Bill Gates responds: "If you know someone personally, it would be very strange to try to compare such an average."
In that interview with Bloomberg, Bill Gates spoke of some fundamental differences in the way Steve Jobs and Elon Musk work.
In a report, an attempt has been made to understand the similarities and differences between Jobs and Mask by combining the statements of other experts in the world of technology with that interview.
Bill Gates said, “Elon is a much more self-employed craftsman. Steve, on the other hand, was great at creating new designs, recognizing people, and marketing .... there's no chance of confusing the two.
Musk himself has spoken at various times about setting goals and trying to get work done within the allotted time. And to succeed in that endeavor, he put his hand to work.
In a conference call for Tesla in November 2016, Musk was talking about how he spends hours at the Tesla battery factory. Sleeping on the factory work floor, not even taking a bath to save time. The goal is the same, to bring Tesla 3 to the market in 2018.
"I am working on the machine myself, trying to solve the problem myself wherever possible," Musk told the meeting, referring to efforts to recover within the allotted time.
“We work here seven days a week. I myself appeared in the Zone 2 module line at 2 am on Sunday ... I am doing what I can. "
The duality of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates was once the subject of great discussion. The duality of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates was once the subject of great discussion. And how was Steve Jobs? In the words of Bill Gates, he was the ‘magician of subjugation’.
"I can still see how he is spreading magic and then see how people are enchanted."
Tim Cook, the current CEO of Apple, joined Apple nine years ago in response to Steve Jobs' offer. They met in 1997.
In a 2014 interview with Charlie Rose, Tim Cook talks about how Steve Jobs persuaded him to join Apple.
Tim Cook was hesitant at first. But the way Steve Jobs spoke, and the atmosphere in the whole house, changed Cook's mind.
"I think about Apple's problems. Then I thought, I have a chance to do something here. And working with Steve Jobs is a golden opportunity in life.
"Then in a hurry I thought, I will work here, I will take this responsibility."
Steve Jobs officially resigned as Apple's chief executive in August 2011. He died two months later in October of pancreatic cancer.
After Jobs died, many critics thought that Apple might last two to four years if it was too much. However, under Cook's leadership, Apple became the world's first trillion-dollar company in 2016. And Apple chief Tim Cook himself has joined the billionaire club this year.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk's personal wealth has surpassed ১০ 10 trillion this year, relying on rocket-propelled Tesla shares.
Tim Cook's tribute to Steve Jobs The duality of Gates and Steve Jobs was once the subject of great discussion. Gates also disagrees with the mask on many issues.
As Bill Gates wrote on his blog Gatesnotes.com last August about electric vehicles, electric cars as an alternative to trucks and heavy vehicles will never be a realistic solution.
In response, Musk wrote in a Sept. 11 tweet, "He (Gates) has no idea about electric trucks."
However, in an interview with Bloomberg, Gates said that Musk's electric cars could play a huge role in trying to prevent climate change.
"Tesla has done a good job. Seeing their success, other car manufacturers will also come forward. ”
Elon Musk called the instruction "fascist" when everyone in California was instructed to stay home during the coronavirus epidemic last April. Bill Gates did not stop criticizing it then.
"It's always stunning to talk about, this is Elon. He is not involved in any vaccination. He is building a great electric car. The rockets he made are also doing well. So he can talk about them. I hope he doesn't confuse things he's not involved with. "
Gates' own image has risen and fallen at different times. When he was at Microsoft, Bill Gates expected a much higher standard from the staff, his tough role was also discussed at the time.
Admitting that, Gates said, "When I was running Microsoft, I was definitely not very sweet-spoken."
Bill Gates, 65, stepped down from Microsoft's board of directors in March to devote more time to charity. Prior to that, he had resigned in 2008 to run the day-to-day operations of Microsoft.
