Chafkin has no clue. He got all the info for his book from unreliable third-hand sources. See this review: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2021/1

  People said the same thing about the recent Elon Musk book by Tim Higgins. They trot out the Musk Tim Cook example. I don't know why both denied ever meeting but I do know that a lot of the stories correlate to what I saw on the anti-Tesla subreddits. In fact it helped complete some unanswered questions about how things were running at Tesla during their Model 3 struggles. So while this guy may or ay not be getting his sources from unreliable third party places, he has enough of a personal credibility to at least consider the stores in the book. At least thats what I learned after seeing how quickly the Tesla community turned against the Higgins book.
