More quotes by Elon Musk
Land on Mars, a round-trip ticket - half a million dollars. It can be done.
Elon Musk
I don't think very highly of Henrik Fisker. [...H]e thinks the reason we don't have electric cars is for lack of styling
Elon Musk
You want to do things you’re passionate about but also are useful to other people.
Elon Musk
If we drive down the cost of transportation in space, we can do great things.

In the case of Apple, they did originally do production internally, but then along came unbelievably good outsourced manufacturing from companies like Foxconn. We don't have that in the rocket business. There's no Foxconn in the rocket business.
Elon Musk
My mentality is that of a samurai. I would rather commit seppuku than fail.
Elon Musk
It's important that we attempt to extend life beyond Earth now. It is the first time in the four billion-year history of Earth that it's been possible, and that window could be open for a long time - hopefully it is - or it could be open for a short time. We should err on the side of caution and do something now.

Yeah, well I think anyone who likes fast cars will love the Tesla. And it has fantastic handling by the way. I mean this car will crush a Porsche on the track, just crush it. So if you like fast cars, you'll love this car. And then oh, by the way, it happens to be electric and it's twice the efficiency of a Prius.

Elon Musk
The first step is to establish that something is possible then probability will occur.
Elon Musk
The primary means of energy generation is going to solar. It will at least be a plurality, and probably be a slight majority in the long term.
Elon Musk
It is definitely true that the fundamental enabling technology for electric cars is lithium-ion as a cell chemistry technology. In the absence of that, I don't think it's possible to make an electric car that is competitive with a gasoline car.
Elon Musk
Target launch date for Falcon I maiden flight is Halloween(October 31) from our island launch complex in the Kwajalein Atoll. For potential customers out there, I should mention that Kwajalein has some of the worlds best scuba diving and snorkeling! It is literally a tropical paradise.
Elon Musk
It's OK to have your eggs in one basket as long as you control what happens to that basket.
Elon Musk
You need to live in a dome initially but over time you could terraform Mars to look like Earth and eventually walk around outside without anything on. ... So it's a fixer-upper of a planet.
Elon Musk
Life is too short for long-term grudges.
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.
