Now that every CEO has their own reality distortion field I wonder if it's even worth calling out any more.

No current CEO has a RDF comparable to Jobs.
Musk is probably closest, but he’s become so involved in partisan politics it makes his field far less effective at distorting reality.
Musk is leading the build of the biggest objects we have ever sent to space. It does give him some sort of aura that is hard to dismantle, let's be honest.
He can do and say a lot of shit because he will still be viewed as real-life Iron Man, because in some ways he kind of is.
Most are not nearly as smooth and successful at the distorting.
Somehow Tim Cook's many year's position that the lightening port was very important to Apple vs USB-C, fell flat as a parsec wide pancake.
(It didn't help that they couldn't point to a single user facing feature.)
Or that the App Store lock in is for our safety. When anyone who wanted that particular safety, could choose to continue using there store exclusively.
Etc.
He just does not have it. No field. No spiraling eyes. Perhaps he should grow a beard and wave around a tobacco pipe. Works for some.
