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.

More quotes by Elon Musk
You shouldn't do things differently just because they're different. They need to be... better.
Elon Musk
I think Tesla will most likely develop its own autopilot system for the car, as I think it should be camera-based, not Lidar-based. However, it is also possible that we do something jointly with Google.
Elon Musk
The problem is that at a lot of big companies, process becomes a substitute for thinking. You're encouraged to behave like a little gear in a complex machine. Frankly, it allows you to keep people who aren't that smart, who aren't that creative.
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
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
Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.
Elon Musk
America is the spirit of human exploration distilled.
Elon Musk
It is definitely true that the fundamental enabling technology for electric cars is lithium-ion as a cell chemistry technology. In the absence of that, I don't think it's possible to make an electric car that is competitive with a gasoline car.
Elon Musk
Humans need to be a multiplanet species.
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
I do think there is a lot of potential if you have a compelling product and people are willing to pay a premium for that. I think that is what Apple has shown. You can buy a much cheaper cell phone or laptop, but Apple's product is so much better than the alternative, and people are willing to pay that premium.
Elon Musk
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.
Elon Musk
Even if producing CO2 was good for the environment, given that we're going to run out of hydrocarbons, we need to find some sustainable means of operating.
Elon Musk
We need to figure out how to have the things we love, and not destroy the world.
Elon Musk
There's a tremendous bias against taking risks. Everyone is trying to optimize their ass-covering.
Elon Musk
My mentality is that of a samurai. I would rather commit seppuku than fail.
Elon Musk
Going from PayPal, I thought: 'Well, what are some of the other problems that are likely to most affect the future of humanity?' Not from the perspective, 'What's the best way to make money?'
Elon Musk
Funded by the government just means funded by the people. Government, by the way, has no money. It only takes money from the people. Sometimes people forget that that's really what occurs.
Elon Musk
I'm increasingly inclined to think there should be some regulatory oversight, maybe at the national and international level just to make sure that we don't do something very foolish.
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
