This is always my answer to people trying to justify being an asshole by comparing themselves to Steve Jobs or Michael Jordan. If you are as talented as them, maybe you can make that argument. But if you are not literally the best in the world at something and/or arguably the best of all time at something, you can't use their examples.

An NBA bench player can't behave like Michael Jordan and expect to stay in the league, even though an NBA bench player is probably one of the best 400 basketball players in the world.

Even then, I would argue that guys like Jordan and Jobs succeeded in spite of being assholes, not necessarily because of it.
