More quotes by Elon Musk
Fear is a hard thing to deal with. I feel it quite strongly. If I think something is important enough, I'll make myself do it in spite of fear. But it can really sap the will. I hate fear, I wish I had it less.
Elon Musk
We need to be super careful with AI. Potentially more dangerous than nukes.
Elon Musk
There are some important differences between me and Tony Stark, like I have five kids, so I spend more time going to Disneyland than parties.
Elon Musk
Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It's really counterintuitive.
Elon Musk
Obviously Tesla is about helping solve the consumption of energy in a sustainable manner but you need the production of energy in a sustainable manner.
Elon Musk
Life is too short for long-term grudges.
Elon Musk
Tesla is here to stay and keep fighting for the electric car revolution.
Elon Musk
My motivation for all my companies has been to be involved in something that I thought would have a significant impact on the world.

Mars is the only place in the solar system where it's possible for life to become multi-planetarian.
Elon Musk
In almost any industry, if you're passionate about doing a great job and making people that buy your product or service as happy as possible, it's really fulfilling.
Elon Musk
Funded by the government just means funded by the people. Government, by the way, has no money. It only takes money from the people. Sometimes people forget that that's really what occurs.
Elon Musk
There's nothing - I've bought everything I want. I don't like yachts or anything you know, I'm not a yacht person, and I've got pretty much the nicest plane I'd want to have.
Elon Musk
If you go back back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic - being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago.
Elon Musk
I'm personally a moderate and a registered independent, so I'm not strongly Democratic or strongly Republican.
Elon Musk
My mentality is that of a samurai. I would rather commit seppuku than fail.
Elon Musk
It would take six months to get to Mars if you go there slowly, with optimal energy cost. Then it would take eighteen months for the planets to realign. Then it would take six months to get back, though I can see getting the travel time down to three months pretty quickly if America has the will.
Elon Musk
What most people know but don't realize they know is that the world is almost entirely solar-powered already. If the sun wasn't there, we'd be a frozen ice ball at three degrees Kelvin, and the sun powers the entire system of precipitation. The whole ecosystem is solar-powered.
Elon Musk
Any product that needs a manual to work is broken.
Elon Musk
I'm extremely confident that solar will be at least a plurality of power, and most likely a majority... in less than 20 years.
Elon Musk
If anyone thinks they'd rather be in a different part of history, they're probably not a very good student of history. Life sucked in the old days. People knew very little, and you were likely to die at a young age of some horrible disease. You'd probably have no teeth by now. It would be particularly awful if you were a woman.
