Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.
Elon Musk
My motivation for all my companies has been to be involved in something that I thought would have a significant impact on the world.
Elon Musk
It is definitely true that the fundamental enabling technology for electric cars is lithium-ion as a cell chemistry technology. In the absence of that, I don't think it's possible to make an electric car that is competitive with a gasoline car.
Elon Musk
I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.
Elon Musk
There's a tremendous bias against taking risks. Everyone is trying to optimize their ass-covering.
Elon Musk
To our knowledge, life exists on only one planet, Earth. If something bad happens, it's gone. I think we should establish life on another planet-Mars in particular-but we 're not making very good progress. SpaceX is intended to make that happen.
Elon Musk
You want to do things you’re passionate about but also are useful to other people.
Elon Musk
The rumours of the demise of the U.S. manufacturing industry are greatly exaggerated.
Elon Musk
Every mode of transport that we use - whether it's planes, trains, automobiles, bikes, horses - is reusable, but not rockets. So we must solve this problem in order to become a space-faring civilization.
Elon Musk
I realized that a methane-oxygen rocket engine could achieve a specific impulse greater than 380.
Elon Musk

Elon Musk
Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It's really counterintuitive.
Elon Musk
You could power the entire United States with about 150 to 200 square kilometers of solar panels, the entire United States. Take a corner of Utah... there's not much going on there, I've been there. There's not even radio stations.
Elon Musk
When I was in college, I wanted to be involved in things that would change the world.
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
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
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 tend to approach things from a physics framework. And physics teaches you to reason from first principles rather than by analogy.
Elon Musk
I don't spend my time pontificating about high-concept things I spend my time solving engineering and manufacturing problems.
Elon Musk
It's just mind-blowingly awesome. I apologize, and I wish I was more articulate, but it's hard to be articulate when your mind's blown-but in a very good way.
