Why do so many famous Founders have a reputation for being complete assholes to their employees? Elon, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, etc. Were they successful because of this behavior, or in spite of it?

As an inverse dataset, what's the counterpoint? What famous founders were (or are) deeply loved by their employees? One well loved dude I can think of is Patrick Collison. Also, Sam Altman fared pretty well over the weekend. (on the asshole side β, my feeling is that it's "in spite of" but with nuanced caveats).

Ding ding ding! Hell YES!! Perfect ex Thomas. @ro & I have for a long time held up this photo, & this team (the Patagonia founding "friends") as a exemplar for how to structure a life and business orientation together.

That's a winner. And how many headlines in comparison has he had with Steve Jobs or Bill Gates?
