When asked if he compares Elon Musk and Steve Jobs, he replied that they are very similar, which he dislikes saying.

Wozniak explained that he put them in the category of being able to communicate and wanting to be seen as cult leaders.

He even detailed saying regardless of what they say, a large number of people will follow them.

However, he added that he doesn't believe Musk is of the same caliber of entrepreneur as Jobs.

Wozniak believes Elon Musk lacks honesty as he said a lot of honesty disappears when you look at Elon Musk and Tesla.

He cited that Musk and Tesla robbed his family of money over the claims about self-driving technology.
