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

More quotes by Elon Musk
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.
Elon Musk
It would take six months to get to Mars if you go there slowly, with optimal energy cost. Then it would take eighteen months for the planets to realign. Then it would take six months to get back, though I can see getting the travel time down to three months pretty quickly if America has the will.
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
Tesla is here to stay and keep fighting for the electric car revolution.
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
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.
Elon Musk
The rumours of the demise of the U.S. manufacturing industry are greatly exaggerated.
Elon Musk
Life is too short for long-term grudges.
Elon Musk
I started SpaceX with the expectation of failure.
Elon Musk
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'm glad to see that BMW is bringing an electric car to market. That's cool.
Elon Musk
When we got Tesla going at the very beginning, if you asked me what I thought the odds of success were, I would have said less than 50%. I would have said that failure is the most likely outcome.
Elon Musk
The primary means of energy generation is going to solar. It will at least be a plurality, and probably be a slight majority in the long term.
Elon Musk
What most people know but don't realize they know is that the world is almost entirely solar-powered already. If the sun wasn't there, we'd be a frozen ice ball at three degrees Kelvin, and the sun powers the entire system of precipitation. The whole ecosystem is solar-powered.
Elon Musk
I'm personally a moderate and a registered independent, so I'm not strongly Democratic or strongly Republican.
Elon Musk
There's a fundamental difference, if you sort of look into the future, between a humanity that is a space-faring civilization, that's out there exploring the stars...compared with one where we are forever confined to Earth until some eventual extinction event.
Elon Musk
Silicon Valley has some of the smartest engineers and technology business people in the world.
Elon Musk
When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.
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.
Elon Musk
You can just reload, propel it and fly again. This is extremely important for revolutionizing access to space because as long as we continue to throw away rockets and space crafts, we will never truly have access to space.
