There's nothing - I've bought everything I want. I don't like yachts or anything you know, I'm not a yacht person, and I've got pretty much the nicest plane I'd want to have.

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.

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.

I think the high-tech industry is used to developing new things very quickly. It's the Silicon Valley way of doing business: You either move very quickly and you work hard to improve your product technology, or you get destroyed by some other company.

The idea of lying on a beach as my main thing just sounds like the worst. It sounds horrible to me. I would go bonkers. I would have to be on serious drugs. I'd be super-duper bored. I like high intensity.

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.

There's a tremendous bias against taking risks. Everyone is trying to optimize their ass-covering.

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 think Tesla will most likely develop its own autopilot system for the car, as I think it should be camera-based, not Lidar-based. However, it is also possible that we do something jointly with Google.

There are some important differences between me and Tony Stark, like I have five kids, so I spend more time going to Disneyland than parties.

Work like hell. I mean you just have to put in 80 to 100 hour weeks every week. [This] improves the odds of success. If other people are putting in 40 hour work weeks and you’re putting in 100 hour work weeks, then even if you’re doing the same thing you know that you will achieve in 4 months what it takes them a year to achieve.

In order for us to have a future that's exciting and inspiring, it has to be one where we're a space-bearing civilization.

Biofuels such as ethanol require enormous amounts of cropland and end up displacing either food crops or natural wilderness, neither of which is good.

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

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.

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.

I do love email. Wherever possible I try to communicate asynchronously. I'm really good at email.

As a child I would just question things.

I’m nauseatingly pro-American. I would have come here from any country. The U.S. is where great things are possible.

I tend to approach things from a physics framework. And physics teaches you to reason from first principles rather than by analogy.
Elon Musk

I came to the conclusion that we should aspire to increase the scope and scale of human consciousness in order to better understand what questions to ask. Really, the only thing that makes sense is to strive for greater collective enlightenment.
