I don't know, it sounds like the definition of a business man. Not one I'd admire, but not unlike lots of other business men.

No, businessmen do business. Steve Jobs did business, he figured out markets, created markets based on what his business could provide. That's actual business.

A grifter, a con man, is not a business man, they wear the skin of one to fool people like yourself into buying into the con. Looks like it works.

Steve Jobs also conspired with his competitors to underpay their staff. Staff as in the people that helped him do business and make billions

Right? At least Elon doesn't have to conspire to underpay his staff.
