More quotes by Elon Musk
The rumours of the demise of the U.S. manufacturing industry are greatly exaggerated.

As a child I would just question things.
Elon Musk
The reality is gas prices should be much more expensive then they are because we're not incorporating the true damage to the environment and the hidden costs of mining oil and transporting it to the U.S. Whenever you have an unpriced externality, you have a bit of a market failure, to the degree that eternality remains unpriced.
Elon Musk

Elon Musk
I want to make rockets 100 times, if not 1,000 times better. The ultimate objective is to make humanity a multiplanet species. Thirty years from now, there'll be a base on the moon and on Mars, and people will be going back and forth on SpaceX rockets.
Elon Musk
I just want to retire before I go senile because if I don't retire before I go senile, then I'll do more damage than good at that point.
Elon Musk
Really, the only thing that makes sense is to strive for greater collective enlightenment.
Elon Musk
I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.

It's a fixer-upper of a planet but we could make it work.
Elon Musk
