Elon Musk is more Steve Jobs than Steve Wozniak. He’s not at SpaceX with Jarvis building rockets. Sure, he’s visionary and can rally people to achieve difficult tasks but he’s not tinkering with propulsion systems. He had an idea and tells his people what he wants done.
The closest thing that really sums him up is a short story by BJ Novak, “The Impatient Billionaire and the Mirror for the Earth”. It is actually pretty entertaining. I remember hearing the audio version on This American Life.
