He's absurdly prideful; a deadly sin which has hold of me more than any of the other sins. Pride is associated with confidence though, which correlates to success. That's not an excuse, because confidence can carefully be curated without pride, but it's uncommon.

Jobs is a jerk, but sometimes that's effective.

What distinguishes Adams (and I identify with) is the pride and confidence, minus the authoritarian bent. He'd rather persuade than impose. He'll only impose when unjustly imposed upon.

He's annoying like Trump and Musk, but endearing like Musk and Trump.
