More quotes by Elon Musk

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
Funded by the government just means funded by the people. Government, by the way, has no money. It only takes money from the people. Sometimes people forget that that's really what occurs.
Elon Musk

Elon Musk

Elon Musk
I don't spend my time pontificating about high-concept things I spend my time solving engineering and manufacturing problems.
Elon Musk
You have to be pretty driven to make it happen. Otherwise, you will just make yourself miserable.
Elon Musk
I do love email. Wherever possible I try to communicate asynchronously. I'm really good at email.
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
Biofuels such as ethanol require enormous amounts of cropland and end up displacing either food crops or natural wilderness, neither of which is good.
Elon Musk
Mars is the only place in the solar system where it's possible for life to become multi-planetarian.
Elon Musk
The fuel cell is just a fundamentally inferior way of delivering electrical energy to an electric motor than batteries.
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.
