I assume, that Google's answer would sound like this:

"We are not starting with musl, because we want to own all our software the same way people own hamsters or dogs: care for them, feed them, train them, single handedly decide whether to castrate or kill them. We don't need the risk of owning something we don't fully control."

As far, as I am aware, musl isn't owned by public company or foundation. Google can't exert desirable degree of control over musl project, because there is no board of directors to buy their way into, — it is all maintained by one guy (and chattel slavery is outlawed in US...)



Bribing or hiring the dev can still work.
