Without a source on that "apparently" I'm going to take that as the output of Musk's usual legend-building apparatus.

The guy has so much capacity to build his own legend (and have others believe it) that people refer to him as the founder of Tesla without even blinking.

He also pissed people off by insisting PayPal runs on Windows instead of Linux. Hey, I have fond memories of coding for the Windows platform for fun, but especially back in the day we kind of scoffed at those who wanted to run mission-critical systems on a Windows server.
