Musk truly believes he is as insightful about customer acceptance of tech as Steve Jobs was.
Jobs was a true bastard, but he really did understand how people saw, interacted with, and enjoyed using Tech.
Musk is just a rich asshole who assumes that he is a tastemaker, and he has an echo chamber of fanboys who will hang on his every gesture. That is not the same as understanding the market.
In short, he has come to believe and rely on his ego being right, and he has enough money to be a painful arse.
Jobs took better drugs! And despite his negative characteristics, spent plenty of time in self-reflection, whereas Musk is and always has been a superficial thinker with no depth. He is just a manipulator and prevaricator.
