Interesting. I was thinking Google and Apple would be more competitors because I think Apple is looking at creating self-driving fleet cars for city traffic/infrastructure rather than consumer vehicles, which is something I think Google is more interested in than Tesla.
I’d say your comment is a slight mischaracterization of what Musk said. He said that Google would be more likely to compete indirectly, by licensing its technology to a third party, whereas he thinks Apple will eventually become a direct competitor. It was not a comment on the quality of the competition either would provide.
