I mean, Jobs was a notorious asshole by basically all non-consumer accounts. If modern social media were 10-15 years older, he would totally have been raving batshit insane stuff. And, if the unverifiable “company stories” my buddy at Apple has shared are true… it would have been fucked.

But that gets to the crux of it. It is more or less “the Tom Cruise problem” as it were. Tom is a notoriously batshit insane cultist with a LOT of ties to people being “disappeared” and abused. He is also a RIDICULOUSLY good actor with an agent who knows how to get him the best films. So most of us try to not think about how evil he is as we cheer for Ethan Hunt or whatever.

And, for all my dislike of Apple products, they are quality (except the fucking mouse).

teslas are very much not “quality” by car standards and most of their branding is built on the cult of personality alone.
