Yes, and I read that article some time ago. It doesn't say why he has
these goals. Maybe he's simply altruistic. Regardless, you're right, I
have only a speculation, nothing more.

Roof
No reason to speculate. Elon spelled his goal out years ago and it has
nothing to do with competition.

In my opinion, I think Musk is moving the company's long term
direction to the business of providing solar power systems. That makes
sense: once the big automakers start making EVs en masse, Tesla will
just be another player. But in solar energy systems, they can remain a
leader much longer.

...
“The goal is to have solar roofs that look better” with an “installed
cost that is less than the cost of a normal roof plus the cost of
electricity,” the Tesla Motors CEO said.
...
For Tesla, acquiring SolarCity would help the company move toward an
ecosystem play: People who want to buy electric vehicles are more
likely to have interest in sustainable energy at home, too. The solar
roofs, made of quartz, would have a “quasi-infinite” shelf life,
according to Musk. “Really, it’s never going to wear out,” he said.
...
“This is the integrated future. You’ve got an electric car, a
Powerwall, and a solar roof. It needs to be beautiful, powerful, and
seamlessly integrated,” Musk said. “If all those things are true, why
would you go any other direction?”
