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?

Slowly coming around to the idea that it was less about being assholes and more about not accepting mediocrity. Loosely held opinion currently though.

Agreed, and I don’t think those two should be conflated or accepted as a pair. You can reject mediocrity and still be a decent person. I think aggression is an easier way to respond and expect excellence than the alternative.
