Elon is not against open sourcing more code: https://techcrunch.com/2023/05/25/elon-musk-says-tesla-might...

> Consumers have the right to understand how their machines work

Windows and macOS aren't open source either and the vast majority of consumers don't care. It would be cool to be able to install an open source third party OS on your car though...

What Elon says, and what Elon actually thinks are two different non-intersecting sets. As evidenced by his actions
Windows and macOS aren't designed to operate heavy machinery and Linux is a viable alternative. Consumers don't care because they don't know. Consumers who do know, care.
