Funny enough in 'founders at work' it sheds light on the early days of paypal. It seems to point towards one of the reasons Elon got fired as CEO of Paypal is because the broader team disagreed with Elon about whether to build around windows or linux and Elon argued that there was more tooling in windows at the time.

That’s consistent with the biography by Ashlee Vance: Elon pushed for Windows and C++ because he believed it was a more mature ecosystem.
