How do we know that's why, vs his estimation of Musk being the right kind of showman to get a lot of investment.

Because it is what he explicitly said. As I pointed out in my parent comment.

Of course I'm sure access to capital plays a role. Otherwise it's just someone with a good idea and no money. A meh idea but lots of money also wouldn't attract these kinds of people.

What people explicitly say is their reasoning isn't necessarily their reasoning; especially in an investor/recruiting hype presentation.
