More quotes by Elon Musk

I really do encourage other manufacturers to bring electric cars to market. It's a good thing, and they need to bring it to market and keep iterating and improving and make better and better electric cars, and that's what going to result in humanity achieving a sustainable transport future. I wish it was growing faster than it is.

My mentality is that of a samurai. I would rather commit seppuku than fail.

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

You can just reload, propel it and fly again. This is extremely important for revolutionizing access to space because as long as we continue to throw away rockets and space crafts, we will never truly have access to space.
Elon Musk

We need to figure out how to have the things we love, and not destroy the world.

It was obvious to me that we could never colonize Mars without reusability, any more than America would have been colonized if they had to burn the ships after every trip.

We're running the most dangerous experiment in history right now, which is to see how much carbon dioxide the atmosphere can handle before there is an environmental catastrophe.

I'm personally a moderate and a registered independent, so I'm not strongly Democratic or strongly Republican.

Life is too short for long-term grudges.
Elon Musk

I tend to approach things from a physics framework. And physics teaches you to reason from first principles rather than by analogy.
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
Image
An asteroid or a supervolcano could certainly destroy us, but we also face risks the dinosaurs never saw: An engineered virus, nuclear war, inadvertent creation of a micro black hole, or some as-yet-unknown technology could spell the end of us.
Elon Musk

I think long term you can see Tesla establishing factories in Europe, in other parts of the U.S. and in Asia.

Land on Mars, a round-trip ticket - half a million dollars. It can be done.
Elon Musk
Image
You could power the entire United States with about 150 to 200 square kilometers of solar panels, the entire United States. Take a corner of Utah... there's not much going on there, I've been there. There's not even radio stations.
Elon Musk

I read books and talked to people. I mean that's kind of how one learns anything. There's lots of great books out there & lots of smart people.

America is the spirit of human exploration distilled.
Elon Musk
Image
I think life on Earth must be about more than just solving problems... It's got to be something inspiring, even if it is vicarious.

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
