More quotes by Elon Musk
Don't be afraid of new arenas.
Elon Musk
I’m nauseatingly pro-American. I would have come here from any country. The U.S. is where great things are possible.
Elon Musk
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
I think long term you can see Tesla establishing factories in Europe, in other parts of the U.S. and in Asia.
Elon Musk
I started SpaceX with the expectation of failure.
Elon Musk
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
Nobody wants to buy a $60,000 electric Civic. But people will pay $90,000 for an electric sports car.
Elon Musk
It is a mistake to hire huge numbers of people to get a complicated job done. Numbers will never compensate for talent in getting the right answer (two people who don't know something are no better than one), will tend to slow down progress, and will make the task incredibly expensive.
Elon Musk
Every mode of transport that we use - whether it's planes, trains, automobiles, bikes, horses - is reusable, but not rockets. So we must solve this problem in order to become a space-faring civilization.
Elon Musk
Engineering is the closest thing to magic that exists in the world.
Elon Musk
I think there are more politicians in favor of electric cars than against. There are still some that are against, and I think the reasoning for that varies depending on the person, but in some cases, they just don't believe in climate change - they think oil will last forever.
Elon Musk
We need to figure out how to have the things we love, and not destroy the world.
Elon Musk
For all the supporters of Tesla over the years, and it's been several years now and there have been some very tough times, I'd just like to say thank you very much. I deeply appreciate the support, particularly through the darkest times.
Elon Musk
Weighing too much on someone's talent and not someone's personality. I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.
Elon Musk
There have only been about a half dozen genuinely important events in the four-billion-year saga of life on Earth: single-celled life, multicelled life, differentiation into plants and animals, movement of animals from water to land, and the advent of mammals and consciousness.
Elon Musk
Land on Mars, a round-trip ticket - half a million dollars. It can be done.
Elon Musk
Starting and growing a business is as much about the innovation, drive and determination of the people who do it as it is about the product they sell.
Elon Musk
I don't spend my time pontificating about high-concept things I spend my time solving engineering and manufacturing problems.
Elon Musk
Mars is the only place in the solar system where it's possible for life to become multi-planetarian.
