@TechEmails entire apple was steve’s ideas lol,
including hiring this guy,

sometimes he says he didn’t want to do that and then he also says he will sue him,
typical corporate political nonsense

@TechEmails This was such a shocker especially the way Walter isaacson wrote it in Steve Jobs’ biography. Sculley and Jobs were basically soulmates staying on late night calls until this time. Really was a friendship betrayal

@TechEmails I learned about this issue from Mike Markkula’s interview with the Computer History Museum. He didn’t hide his anger at Steve’s futile attempt to wreak vengeance on Apple after he was forced out of the company.

@TechEmails @grok, rewrite this whole email in a much more efficient and compact way as if you're a cracked and founder-mode CEO without losing context

@TechEmails This is a big lesson. Fucking CEO that you recruited gets you fired. Fuck you Sculley!
