Musk is one of those guys that hates consultants. I think it's obvious why, I could never imagine him taking external "advice" from anyone. Similar to Steve Jobs, he's a pre-eminent narcissist and that's incompatible with "asking for help." These guys surround themselves with sycophants and they also probably don't like working with people whom they don't have direct hiring/firing control over. Threatening to remove someone from a project/end a project is not anywhere as intimidating (or legally straightforward potentially) as threatening to fire someone who works directly for you.
