The author did not make up the story; he is simply relaying a story that multiple current and former Tesla employees said they were told...by Musk himself.
As actually relayed in the book, the point of the story is not that Musk actually wanted to become CEO of Apple-Tesla (the author notes that the story is implausible), but that Musk felt the need to burnish his image by making up such a story in the first place.
- rendall 5y agoOk. I understand better. The contention is that Musk told a tall, entertaining tale that was untrue. Fair. But also that the tale indicates something dark about Musk's character? That seems a stretch.
