I do not see Genius and Asshole as being mutually exclusive conditions. In fact, I would say that being a genius by definition puts you into a 2% segment of the global population and that means you are much more likely to be nonconformist to the point that you would be considered an asshole by a large part of the population that just doesn't and cannot understand you.
That said, I would say that Steve Jobs was a Genius and an Asshole because he lacked empathy for others and that lack of empathy may have allowed him to propel his creations from a garage based small business to the megacorp we see today.

Many people viewed as geniuses were also assholes as well. Like, for example, Thomas Edison was an asshole.

He was both and in equal parts, as with most driven people!

I believe he was the start of manufacturing (IPhone) and its jobs overseas for cheaper labor yet selling his products to Americans like they were made in America. Am I wrong?

He was both, but which was more important is the question.

I recall something where his physical condition that killed him might have been different except that he did not want to be cut on. Neither do I, but I think I would do what was needed to survive.

Absolutely!

I also say both.

Both.

Can both things be true?

Steve Jobs had his troubles, I got mine.
