More quotes by Elon Musk
I really do encourage other manufacturers to bring electric cars to market. It's a good thing, and they need to bring it to market and keep iterating and improving and make better and better electric cars, and that's what going to result in humanity achieving a sustainable transport future. I wish it was growing faster than it is.
Elon Musk
I'm reasonably optimistic about the future, especially the future of the United States - for the century, at least.
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
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
I realized that a methane-oxygen rocket engine could achieve a specific impulse greater than 380.
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
So, there's quite a big keep-out zone, and when you factor the keep-out zone into account, the solar panels put on that area would typically generate more power than that nuclear power plant.
Elon Musk
In order for us to have a future that's exciting and inspiring, it has to be one where we're a space-bearing civilization.
Elon Musk
I could either watch it happen or be a part of it.
Elon Musk
Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.
Elon Musk
Many things are improbable, only a few are impossible.
Elon Musk
Going from PayPal, I thought: 'Well, what are some of the other problems that are likely to most affect the future of humanity?' Not from the perspective, 'What's the best way to make money?'
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.
Elon Musk
The rumours of the demise of the U.S. manufacturing industry are greatly exaggerated.
Elon Musk
Work like hell. I mean you just have to put in 80 to 100 hour weeks every week. [This] improves the odds of success. If other people are putting in 40 hour work weeks and you’re putting in 100 hour work weeks, then even if you’re doing the same thing you know that you will achieve in 4 months what it takes them a year to achieve.
Elon Musk
Mars is the only place in the solar system where it's possible for life to become multi-planetarian.
Elon Musk
Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It's really counterintuitive.
Elon Musk
Constantly seek criticism. A well thought out critique of what you're doing is as valuable as gold
Elon Musk
I think there are too many smart people pursuing internet stuff, finance, and law. That is part of the reason why we haven't seen as much innovation.
Elon Musk
I want to make rockets 100 times, if not 1,000 times better. The ultimate objective is to make humanity a multiplanet species. Thirty years from now, there'll be a base on the moon and on Mars, and people will be going back and forth on SpaceX rockets.
