I always see what’s... wrong. Would you want that? When I see a car or a rocket or spacecraft, I only see what’s wrong. I never see what’s right. It’s not a recipe for happiness.
Elon Musk
The fuel cell is just a fundamentally inferior way of delivering electrical energy to an electric motor than batteries.
Elon Musk

It's important that we attempt to extend life beyond Earth now. It is the first time in the four billion-year history of Earth that it's been possible, and that window could be open for a long time - hopefully it is - or it could be open for a short time. We should err on the side of caution and do something now.
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.
Elon Musk
You have to be pretty driven to make it happen. Otherwise, you will just make yourself miserable.
Elon Musk
Humans need to be a multiplanet species.
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
If we drive down the cost of transportation in space, we can do great things.
Elon Musk
I don't think very highly of Henrik Fisker. [...H]e thinks the reason we don't have electric cars is for lack of styling
Elon Musk
Yeah, well I think anyone who likes fast cars will love the Tesla. And it has fantastic handling by the way. I mean this car will crush a Porsche on the track, just crush it. So if you like fast cars, you'll love this car. And then oh, by the way, it happens to be electric and it's twice the efficiency of a Prius.
