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.

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

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.

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.

The fuel cell is just a fundamentally inferior way of delivering electrical energy to an electric motor than batteries.

There are really two things that have to occur in order for a new technology to be affordable to the mass market. One is you need economies of scale. The other is you need to iterate on the design. You need to go through a few versions.

If you go back back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic - being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago.

I would like to die on Mars. Just not on impact.

The tough thing is figuring out what questions to ask, but […] once you do that, the rest is really easy.

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.

I realized that a methane-oxygen rocket engine could achieve a specific impulse greater than 380.

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.

You shouldn't do things differently just because they're different. They need to be... better.
Elon Musk

I was born in Africa. I came to California because it's really where new technologies can be brought to fruition, and I don't see a viable competitor.

If you had to buy a new plane every time you flew somewhere, it would be incredibly expensive.
