Microsoft's Bill Gates, Tesla's Elon Musk, and Apple's Steve Jobs are three of the most notable names in the tech industry. Two of the latter are so being compared with each other, and an article called Musk as the "Next Steve Jobs." If there's one person to know their difference, it's Bill Gates. And here's what he thought about this comparison.
Is Elon Musk the next Steve Jobs?
As explained to him via Bloomberg, Musk's label as the 'Next Steve Jobs' is a 'strange' gross oversimplification.
Since he knew both of them personally, Gates said that no one would dare to "walk into a room and confuse them with each other."
In fact, he found Musk as more 'engineer' than Jobs as a 'genius.'
"Elon's more of a hands-on engineer. Steve was a genius at design and picking people and marketing," Gates said.
It is observed that Gates has a more 'friendly' stance with Jobs than Musk. In his past interviews, the Microsoft billionaire often called the ex-Apple chief as "wizard at over-motivating people ... I could see him casting the spells, and then I would look at people and see them mesmerized."
For Musk, however, Tech Times reported that he recently gets mad on Gates over his another interview, forgetting Tesla's name as one of the best all-electric truck manufacturers in the world.
He accused Bill of having no clue what he said.
