Has Elon Musk surpassed Steve Jobs as the GOAT business leader / CEO?

While Steve's products fundamentally changed the computing, music and mobile phone industries for ever, I can't help but think that Elon is on track to suprass Jobs in terms of the impact he will have on humanity when it is all said and done.
Everyone seems to only focuses on Tesla, SpaceX and to a lesser extent Starlink and the Boring company, but I think eventually Elon's biggest contribution could end up being Twitter 2.0 restoring the concept of free speech to the world as it was meant to be.
Make "The Global Town Square" Great Again!

@dhh - Sell Twitter to Musk, and you'll regret it. Don't sell Twitter to Musk, and you'll regret that too.

Such goes Kierkegaard's immortal admonition that many of life's grand dilemmas have only regrettable choices. Yet we spend much of our time trying to argue and act as if otherwise.
Twitter left to its current devices and management is likely to continue on the path it's been on. More bans, more suppression, more policing of thought divergent from The Consensus Opinion.
Twitter made in Musk's image might well "unlock the potential" of the site, and thus infect even more people with the algorithmic darkness and division that maximizing for engagement brings. Less overt political gerrymandering of the overtone window will not make for a less political site.
Either way, we'll all regret it.

Steve Jobs was not that big of a deal.

That's pretty much how I feel. Twitter is already a cesspool. It will become more of a cesspool which will be great for their shareholders but do I expect some great societal contributions from this? Nope

Elon passed Jobs a long time ago.

Steve Jobs was a cheap bastard. When he took over apple again he got rid of charitable giving his first week in office. Moreover, he left apple with a massive kitty which any good business man will tell you is a bad thing. Dude was good at selling shitty products that became obsolete in a matter of one product cycle.
He's a tenth the business man a Jack Welch (already mentioned), Henry Ford, or Tesla man himself Elon Musk is.

Is your life really that impacted by what somebody can blast out on social media?

Considering corporate America is making decisions based on those tweets, probably.
CRT, DEI, and all that other woke bullshite didn't just appear from nowhere.

I'm not sure either
But at a time when it appeared all the institutions (academia, Hollywood, tech, corporate, media, perhaps the church) were all aligning to push a set of ideas on a populace that doesn't want them, the world's richest man throwing a punch at the concept is notable

Can we tap the brakes on King Elon until we examine the guy's new Twatter "free speech" policy?
That Twatter lives so deeply in the brain of so many people to begin with is scary.

Elon was the chief engineer on the first SpaceX rocket that actually launched properly.
Steve Jobs couldn't even code binary. He was just the best marketing guy ever, and a tyrannical CEO that got the results he envisioned.

No, it didn't.
Did you know that the article "Critical Race Theory: Past, Present and Future" was written in 1998, which was 8 years before Twitter debuted. It discussed the origins of Critical Race Theory to a Yale Law Journal that was published in 1976.
Nothing "Originated" on social media. It's just a place where the weak minded go to echo what the other lemmings are posting. That's true no matter which side of a subject you are on.

Jobs wasn't the greatest businessman ever. Perhaps you have never heard of John D. Rockefeller, Henry Ford, Howard Hughes, etc

Elon is not a rocket scientist. He didn't engineer anything on spaceX. He managed a team of engineers at best and pushed them to the brink cause that's what he does and they delivered. He's amazing at it. He will do the same at Twitter. He isn't going to be actually chief software engineer. Since he owns it though he can call himself whatever he wants. Chief information officer of the free world sounds like a good title for that company.
