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.

More quotes by Elon Musk
If you had to buy a new plane every time you flew somewhere, it would be incredibly expensive.
Elon Musk
There are really two things that have to occur in order for a new technology to be affordable to the mass market. One is you need economies of scale. The other is you need to iterate on the design. You need to go through a few versions.
Elon Musk
If anyone thinks they'd rather be in a different part of history, they're probably not a very good student of history. Life sucked in the old days. People knew very little, and you were likely to die at a young age of some horrible disease. You'd probably have no teeth by now. It would be particularly awful if you were a woman.
Elon Musk
I'm glad to see that BMW is bringing an electric car to market. That's cool.
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
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.
Elon Musk
We need to be super careful with AI. Potentially more dangerous than nukes.
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
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
I'm personally a moderate and a registered independent, so I'm not strongly Democratic or strongly Republican.
Elon Musk
The thing that's worth doing is trying to improve our understanding of the world and gain a better appreciation of the universe and not to worry too much about there being no meaning. And, you know, try and enjoy yourself. Because, actually, life's pretty good. It really is.
Elon Musk
My family fears that the Russians will assassinate me.
Elon Musk
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.
Elon Musk
Many things are improbable, only a few are impossible.
Elon Musk
You want to have a future where you’re expecting things to be better, not one where you’re expecting things to be worse.
Elon Musk
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.
Elon Musk
Trying to read our DNA is like trying to understand software code - with only 90% of the code riddled with errors. It's very difficult in that case to understand and predict what that software code is going to do.
Elon Musk
Land on Mars, a round-trip ticket - half a million dollars. It can be done.
Elon Musk
Does the logic connect? What are the range of probably outcomes? You want to figure out what those probabilities are and ideally be the House. It's fine to gamble, as long as you're the House. Also, listen to critical feedback, particularly from friends. Generally they will be thinking it but they won't tell you.
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.
