More quotes by Elon Musk
If you go back back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic - being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago.
Elon Musk
Engineering is the closest thing to magic that exists in the world.
Elon Musk
Optimism, pessimism, f**k that we're going to make it happen. As God is my bloody witness, I'm hell-bent on making it work.
Elon Musk
As a child I would just question things.
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
The reality is gas prices should be much more expensive then they are because we're not incorporating the true damage to the environment and the hidden costs of mining oil and transporting it to the U.S. Whenever you have an unpriced externality, you have a bit of a market failure, to the degree that eternality remains unpriced.
Elon Musk
There have only been about a half dozen genuinely important events in the four-billion-year saga of life on Earth: single-celled life, multicelled life, differentiation into plants and animals, movement of animals from water to land, and the advent of mammals and consciousness.
Elon Musk
Constantly seek criticism. A well thought out critique of what you're doing is as valuable as gold
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
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
The United States is definitely ahead in culture of innovation. If someone wants to accomplish great things, there is no better place than the U.S.
Elon Musk
I would like to die on Mars. Just not on impact.
Elon Musk
In almost any industry, if you're passionate about doing a great job and making people that buy your product or service as happy as possible, it's really fulfilling.
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
For all the supporters of Tesla over the years, and it's been several years now and there have been some very tough times, I'd just like to say thank you very much. I deeply appreciate the support, particularly through the darkest times.
Elon Musk
Don't be afraid of new arenas.
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
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
Fear is a hard thing to deal with. I feel it quite strongly. If I think something is important enough, I'll make myself do it in spite of fear. But it can really sap the will. I hate fear, I wish I had it less.
