He isn't comparing Jobs to Musk in a general sense, but specifically the way Musk took over Twitter.

Not that I agree with the point. But I wouldn't assume the poster thinks Jobs and Musk are similar in a broad sense.

Even then, Musk didn't cut fat and then produce multiple revolutionary products. He tanked Twitter's ad revenue and wound up with a much smaller business that had to get bailed out by SpaceX, otherwise it doesn't pay for the acquisition costs.

I don’t think that the good guy/bad guy reputation referred to is solely about firing a couple thousand people.
