No I don't ever give up. I would have to be dead or completely incapacitated
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.

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.

Don't be afraid of new arenas.

Starting and growing a business is as much about the innovation, drive and determination of the people who do it as it is about the product they sell.

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 think the high-tech industry is used to developing new things very quickly. It's the Silicon Valley way of doing business: You either move very quickly and you work hard to improve your product technology, or you get destroyed by some other company.

Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.

As a child I would just question things.

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.

There's nothing - I've bought everything I want. I don't like yachts or anything you know, I'm not a yacht person, and I've got pretty much the nicest plane I'd want to have.

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.

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.

I think there are more politicians in favor of electric cars than against. There are still some that are against, and I think the reasoning for that varies depending on the person, but in some cases, they just don't believe in climate change - they think oil will last forever.

Land on Mars, a round-trip ticket - half a million dollars. It can be done.

Does the logic connect? What are the range of probably outcomes? You want to figure out what those probabilities are and ideally be the House. It's fine to gamble, as long as you're the House. Also, listen to critical feedback, particularly from friends. Generally they will be thinking it but they won't tell you.

Government isn't that good at rapid advancement of technology. It tends to be better at funding basic research. To have things take off, you've got to have commercial companies do it.

I’m nauseatingly pro-American. I would have come here from any country. The U.S. is where great things are possible.

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

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.
