More quotes by Elon Musk
I think most of the important stuff on the Internet has been built. There will be continued innovation, for sure, but the great problems of the Internet have essentially been solved.
Elon Musk
I’m nauseatingly pro-American. I would have come here from any country. The U.S. is where great things are possible.
Elon Musk
It's OK to have your eggs in one basket as long as you control what happens to that basket.

Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It's really counterintuitive.
Elon Musk
My mentality is that of a samurai. I would rather commit seppuku than fail.
Elon Musk
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.
Elon Musk
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
We're running the most dangerous experiment in history right now, which is to see how much carbon dioxide the atmosphere can handle before there is an environmental catastrophe.
Elon Musk
For all the supporters of Tesla over the years, and it's been several years now and there have been some very tough times, I'd just like to say thank you very much. I deeply appreciate the support, particularly through the darkest times.
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
I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.
Elon Musk
The rumours of the demise of the U.S. manufacturing industry are greatly exaggerated.
Elon Musk
The primary means of energy generation is going to solar. It will at least be a plurality, and probably be a slight majority in the long term.
