Elon Musk is the famous CEO of the company Tesla, one of the competitors Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), at the moment, and in a recent interview he criticized the former co-founder of those from Cupertino.
According to Elon Musk, his only meeting with Steve Jobs did not leave a very good impression of the former CEO of Apple, stating that Jobs was a man disrespectful to those around him, the opinion being shared by many people who met him over time.
Elon Musk met with Steve Jobs at a party most likely organized in San Francisco, the former CEO of Google Larry Page introduced them, and then the former CEO of Apple did not know the current CEO of Tesla, but that did not stop him behaves disrespectfully.
The basis of the animosity was an interview that Elon Musk gave to a German newspaper and which had been published just a few days before, the CEO of Tesla talking then about the intentions of the Apple company to develop a car, Steve Jobs apparently being dissatisfied with them.
I don't know—I mean, the one time I met Steve Jobs, he was kind of a jerk. And everyone I know who met him... I mean, I can't say beyond my personal experience. That is the only experience I had.
Musk claims that his whole opinion about Steve Jobs is based on this impression formed then, because a second meeting between the two never took place, but it seems that Jobs was defensive about a possible disclosure of some secret plans of Apple.
After the death of Steve Jobs, Apple initiated the process of developing a car and invests billions of dollars to bring this product to the market, so Steve Jobs' dissatisfaction was fully justified at that time.
