I don't know a lot about SpaceX but I think I read somewhere he wanted to buy a rocket, and the price given to him was insane, so he looked up how to make a rocket and figured he could do it for less than the cost of buying one, and then after reducing costs decided it also needed to be reusable.

That's more or less what happened. The supplier of the rockets were Russian and they basically screwed with him. And now, SpaceX.
