Bill Gates: Let's not confuse Elon Musk and Steve Jobs
Both visionaries, one with a passion to colonize Mars and revolutionize the transport sector, the other capable of giving substance to concepts and ideas by bringing devices that have left their mark to the market. Elon Musk and Steve Jobs are certainly two who have chosen to follow the innovation compass, but woe to make the mistake of putting them on the same level. Word of Bill Gates.
If you know people directly these gross simplifications they look… weird. Elon is more of a skilled engineer, while Steve was a genius in design, attracting people and marketing. You would not enter a room and run the risk of confusing them.
The intervention has called into question the electric car market, considering its growth an important factor in the fight against climate change, a commitment that sees him personally involved (as does the development of a vaccine for COVID-19). In order for tangible benefits to be appreciated, vehicle prices will need to fall further, thus becoming accessible to an increasingly large slice of buyers.
Recently the two, Gates and Musk, have given birth to what can be called a small verbal confrontation passed by the social media boards. The first expressed his concerns about the idea of creating and marketing electric trucks for the transport of goods over long distances, while the second called into question by a Twitter user replied in a concise and direct way.
He has no clue.
