Elon Musk
It's OK to have your eggs in one basket as long as you control what happens to that basket.

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
I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.
Elon Musk
The path to the CEO's office should not be through the CFO's office, and it should not be through the marketing department. It needs to be through engineering and design.
