More quotes by 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
The lessons of history would suggest that civilisations move in cycles. You can track that back quite far - the Babylonians, the Sumerians, followed by the Egyptians, the Romans, China. We're obviously in a very upward cycle right now and hopefully that remains the case. But it may not.
Elon Musk
Self-driving cars are the natural extension of active safety and obviously something we should do.
Elon Musk
I always see what’s... wrong. Would you want that? When I see a car or a rocket or spacecraft, I only see what’s wrong. I never see what’s right. It’s not a recipe for happiness.
Elon Musk
I think there are more politicians in favor of electric cars than against. There are still some that are against, and I think the reasoning for that varies depending on the person, but in some cases, they just don't believe in climate change - they think oil will last forever.
Elon Musk
SpaceX has the potential of saving the U.S. government $1 billion a year. We are opposed to creating an entrenched monopoly with no realistic means for anyone to compete.
Elon Musk
What I'm trying to do is to maximise the probability of the future being better.
Elon Musk
When you struggle with a problem, that's when you understand it.
Elon Musk
I started SpaceX with the expectation of failure.
Elon Musk
Life is too short for long-term grudges.
Elon Musk
I could either watch it happen or be a part of it.
Elon Musk
Even if producing CO2 was good for the environment, given that we're going to run out of hydrocarbons, we need to find some sustainable means of operating.
Elon Musk
I'm extremely confident that solar will be at least a plurality of power, and most likely a majority... in less than 20 years.
Elon Musk
It's OK to have your eggs in one basket as long as you control what happens to that basket.
Elon Musk
Mars is the only place in the solar system where it's possible for life to become multi-planetarian.
Elon Musk
Constantly seek criticism. A well thought out critique of what you're doing is as valuable as gold
Elon Musk
Weighing too much on someone's talent and not someone's personality. I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.
Elon Musk
I just want to retire before I go senile because if I don't retire before I go senile, then I'll do more damage than good at that point.
Elon Musk
If you get up in the morning and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it’s not.
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.
