Tesla CEO Elon Musk Reacts To Apple Co-Founder Steve Jobs On Finding Top Talent: 'You Build Up These Pockets Of 'A' Players And It Propagates'
Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk agreed with Apple Inc. cofounder Steve Jobs' views on hiring the best talent available and building a team of 'A' players to become successful.
特斯拉公司首席执行官埃隆·马斯克同意苹果公司联合创始人史蒂夫·乔布斯的观点，即招聘最优秀的人才，组建一支由 “A” 玩家组成的团队以取得成功。
What Happened: Jobs has spoken a lot about how to truly build a successful team. His philosophy was that a small team of "A" players could run circles around a large team of "B" and "C" players.
发生了什么：乔布斯经常谈论如何真正建立一支成功的团队。他的理念是，一支由 “A” 玩家组成的小队伍可以围绕一支由 “B” 和 “C” 玩家组成的大型队伍跑来跑去。
Now, Musk, who is currently the third richest person in the world with a net worth of $189 billion according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, thinks this is "true."
现在，根据彭博亿万富翁指数，马斯克目前是全球第三大富豪，净资产为1890亿美元，他认为这是 “真的”。
Jobs explains that he built a lot of his success by "finding these truly gifted people and not settling for 'B' and 'C' players, but going for the 'A' players."
乔布斯解释说，他的许多成功是通过 “找到这些真正有天赋的人，而不是满足于'B'和'C'玩家，而是选择'A'玩家。”

Jobs put his faith in the people he hired and worked with, not in technology.
乔布斯相信自己雇用和合作的人，而不是技术。
Former Apple CEO John Sculley underscored the fact that even during the early days of Cupertino, Jobs' team was made of "people who had clearly never built a commercial product before but they believed in Steve and they believed in his vision."
苹果前首席执行官约翰·斯卡利强调了这样一个事实，即即使在库比蒂诺成立初期，乔布斯的团队也由 “以前显然从未开发过商业产品，但他们相信史蒂夫并相信他的愿景的人组成。”

Why It Matters: Following Jobs' vision has paid off quite well for Apple – from the Mac to the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, Cupertino's biggest hits in its history were driven by Jobs' ideas and vision.
为何重要：追随乔布斯的愿景为苹果带来了丰厚的回报——从Mac到iPod、iPhone和iPad，库比蒂诺历史上最受欢迎的歌曲是由乔布斯的想法和愿景推动的。
"I found that when you get enough 'A' players, when you go through the incredible work to find, you know, five of these 'A' players, they really like working with each other because they've never had a chance to do that before."
“我发现，当你有足够多的'A'玩家时，当你完成艰巨的工作找到其中五个'A'玩家时，他们真的很喜欢互相合作，因为他们以前从未有过这样的机会。”
To his credit, Musk has built Tesla, SpaceX, and now xAI, and before that, PayPal. He is also one of the co-founders of OpenAI, which is currently one of the leaders in the AI industry.
值得称赞的是，马斯克已经建造了特斯拉、SpaceX，现在是xAI，在此之前还建造了PayPal。他还是OpenAI的联合创始人之一，OpenAI目前是人工智能行业的领导者之一。
Jobs believed that once you build a team of "A" players, it takes care of itself.
乔布斯认为，一旦你组建了一支由 “A” 玩家组成的队伍，它就能自给自足。
"They don't wanna work with 'B' and 'C' players, and so it becomes self-policing, and they only wanna hire more 'A' players."
“他们不想和'B'和'C'玩家合作，所以这变成了自我监管，他们只想雇用更多的'A'玩家。”
"You build up these pockets of 'A' players and it propagates."
“你积累了这些'A'玩家的口袋，然后它就会传播。”
