Constantly seek criticism. A well thought out critique of what you're doing is as valuable as gold
Elon Musk
I always had an existential crisis, trying to figure out ‘what does it all mean?’ I came to the conclusion that if we can advance the knowledge of the world, if we can expand the scope and scale of consciousness, then, we’re better able to ask the right questions and become more enlightened. That’s the only way to move forward.

Work like hell. I mean you just have to put in 80 to 100 hour weeks every week. [This] improves the odds of success.

My motivation for all my companies has been to be involved in something that I thought would have a significant impact on the world.
Elon Musk
I always invest my own money in the companies that I create. I don't believe in the whole thing of just using other people's money. I don't think that's right. I'm not going to ask other people to invest in something if I'm not prepared to do so myself.
Elon Musk
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.
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.
Elon Musk
The extension of life beyond Earth is the most important thing we can do as a species.
Elon Musk
Land on Mars, a round-trip ticket - half a million dollars. It can be done.
Elon Musk
Self-driving cars are the natural extension of active safety and obviously something we should do.
Elon Musk
America is the spirit of human exploration distilled.
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 think life on Earth must be about more than just solving problems... It's got to be something inspiring, even if it is vicarious.
