More quotes by 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
Humans need to be a multiplanet species.
Elon Musk
The first step is to establish that something is possible then probability will occur.
Elon Musk
Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.
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
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
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.
Elon Musk
I don't spend my time pontificating about high-concept things I spend my time solving engineering and manufacturing problems.
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
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
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
What I'm trying to do is to maximise the probability of the future being better.
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
My mentality is that of a samurai. I would rather commit seppuku than fail.
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 increasingly inclined to think there should be some regulatory oversight, maybe at the national and international level just to make sure that we don't do something very foolish.
Elon Musk
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.
Elon Musk
Silicon Valley has some of the smartest engineers and technology business people in the world.
Elon Musk
Tesla is here to stay and keep fighting for the electric car revolution.
Elon Musk
I think you should always be seeking negative feedback.
