This feels like someone trying to do something they thought Steve Jobs would do.

spend a little bit of time in SF or the peninsula and you’ll see that’s a common thing there

unless you’re running a company into the ground and getting a bailout from your rival who is trying to delay an antitrust suit, then you’re not doing Steve Jobs correctly

It's usually people who never worked for Steve or ever got to meet him who seem to take this approach.

Their company isn't just a business, it's a cult, and they're the Founder (notice the capital "F") and part of being in charge of this cult is asserting dominance over others. Steve knew to rarely pull this outside of tech executive circles; the new generation doesn't seem to keep it in SV. Musk is the go-to example but Altman's turning that way too.
