Bill didn’t take the bait, but I did.

[Pusen]

Some people call Elon the next Steve Jobs I say he is the first Elon musk

[UnknownCartoonEditor]

You guys REALLY wanted a story out of this. Stop pushing guys like Bill to “talk shit”, he’s got better things to do.

Bill Gates: our only pet is a cat

Bloomberg: BILL GATES HATES DOGS

[Zetler]

What a terrible question. Someone put this poor guy up to do this.

[jasonbirchoff]

wow... gotta love the media trying to get clicks... the difference some context makes

Tile: "You wouldn't confuse elon musk with steve jobs"
Gates: "Elon musk is a hands on engineer, Steve is a genius designer and marketer... You wouldnt walk into a room and confuse them with each other"

[microtasker]

Ask stupid questions to billionaires and this is the result.

[typhoon]

Perfect answer, but what else is expected from this gentleman.

[Yzjoshuwave]

What Gates is actually saying is so much more benign than this headline would suggest.

[wuzhannenin]

There's a reason why spaceX only accepts private funding and will probably never IPO. Zero pressure from the "stock" guys.

[Iproductions]

No one's called Musk the new Steve jobs. Everyone has however called him the real Tony Stark

[kirtitiwari]

Who is watching this after Elon Musk become the richest person on earth.🥳

[AlMansurpictures]

Haha, the simplest way to see the difference between Elon and Steve is public speaking skills. Steve has a magic public speaking, and Elon is just the worst public speaking skills on the level of Tech Rockstar.

[mikoajmikoajczak]

If even Bill Gates says Tesla is a premium price I could never afford one...

[Dizze]

Bill Gates is the type of billionaire we want! Acknowledges others successes, has a vision, and is humble.

[monsterbeast]

The only thing that should be compared between Elon and Steve should be how they are/were both visionaries.

2 people build a global brand, 1 uses a huge marketing budget and the other has a zero dollar marketing budget.
Which one is the marketing genius? 🤔

[tilak]

Well Elon is in different category. Mr. Gayes knew mr. Jobs personally and were friends! So no way he can compare a lost friend with some engineer who has passion for new ideas realizing. Undoubtedly Elon created a huge market for EVs, for commercial Space industry, Solar panels making an affordable reality, and boring company is yet another idea for transportation. Still both works in different ways! Mr. Jobs would have fired instantly for a failure, while Elon appreciated people for trying hard! That’s the huge difference according to me! Steve job changed everyone’s life in 4-5 years with iPhone and iPads, while Elon’s ideas yet to be touch our lives if it’s gonna be! No doubt that both have done great job!

LOL even Bill did not like these loaded questions. Notice the smirk at 0:11.

[sportstv]

Instead of comparing with Steve Jobs, I would compare Elon Musk with Nicola Tesla
