My family fears that the Russians will assassinate me. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
You want to do things you're passionate about but also are useful to other people. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Like people including Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk have predicted, I agree that the future is scary and very bad for people. If we build these devices to take care of everything for us, eventually they'll think faster than us and they'll get rid of the slow humans to run companies more efficiently, ~ Steve Wozniak
Elon Musk quotes by Steve Wozniak
I've always wanted to be part of something that would radically change the world ... People forget the power of inspiration. All of humanity went to the moon with the Apollo missions. The issue was cost. There was no chance to build a base and create frequent flights. That's the problem I would like to solve. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
The path to the CEO's office should not be through the CFO's office, and it should not be through the marketing department. It needs to be through engineering and design. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
My proceeds from the PayPal acquisition were $180 million. I put $100 million in SpaceX, $70m in Tesla, and $10m in Solar City. I had to borrow money for rent. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
The tough thing is figuring out what questions to ask, but [ ... ] once you do that, the rest is really easy. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
A Prius is not a true hybrid, really. The current Prius is, like, 2 percent electric. It's a gasoline car with slightly better mileage. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Target launch date for Falcon I maiden flight is Halloween(October 31) from our island launch complex in the Kwajalein Atoll. For potential customers out there, I should mention that Kwajalein has some of the worlds best scuba diving and snorkeling! It is literally a tropical paradise. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Let's think beyond the normal stuff and have an environment where that sort of thinking is encouraged and rewarded and where it's okay to fail as well. Because when you try new things, you try this idea, that idea ... well a large number of them are not gonna work, and that has to be okay. If every time somebody comes up with an idea it has to be successful, you're not gonna get people coming up with ideas. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
You can just reload, propel it and fly again. This is extremely important for revolutionizing access to space because as long as we continue to throw away rockets and space crafts, we will never truly have access to space. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
If you look at our current technology level, something strange has to happen to civilisations, and I mean strange in a bad way. And it could be that there are a whole lot of dead, one-planet civilisations. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
The revolutionary breakthrough will come with rockets that are fully and rapidly reusable. We will never conquer Mars unless we do that. It'll be too expensive. The American colonies would never have been pioneered if the ships that crossed the ocean hadn't been reusable. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I've actually not read any books on time management. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
It's just mind-blowingly awesome. I apologize, and I wish I was more articulate, but it's hard to be articulate when your mind's blown-but in a very good way. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I've actually made a prediction that within 30 years a majority of new cars made in the United States will be electric. And I don't mean hybrid, I mean fully electric. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by 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. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
The extension of life beyond Earth is the most important thing we can do as a species. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I think it's very easy for people who are not deep in the technology itself to make generalizations, which may be a little dangerous. And we've certainly seen that recently with Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking, all saying AI is just taking off and it's going to take over the world very quickly. And the thing that they share is none of them work in this technological field. ~ Rodney Brooks
Elon Musk quotes by Rodney Brooks
Silicon Valley has some of the smartest engineers and technology business people in the world. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by 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
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Physics is a good framework for thinking ... Boil things down to their fundamental truths and reason up from there. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by 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. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by 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
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I mean, I think that if people are concerned about volatility, they should definitely not buy our stock. I'm not here [on an earnings call] to convince you to buy [Tesla] stock. Do not buy it if volatility is scary. There you go. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Stationary storage will be as big as the car business long term. The growth rate will probably be several times what it is for the car business. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
If you go 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. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
It's a fixer-upper of a planet but we could make it work. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Most people can learn a lot more than they think they can. They sell themselves short without trying. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Land on Mars, a round-trip ticket - half a million dollars. It can be done. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Don't be afraid of new arenas. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Tesla is here to stay and keep fighting for the electric car revolution. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
A utility can handle up to 20% of production from solar and that helps the grid because it produces electricity when needed. Solar power peaks in the middle of the day and that's also when air conditioning is running and businesses are operating, so power production matches usage. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
When I was in college, I wanted to be involved in things that would change the world. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
You need to live in a dome initially, but over time you could terraform Mars to look like Earth and eventually walk around outside without anything on ... So it's a fixer-upper of a planet. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Nikki could barely pull herself away from the spinning alien beauty in the window, but Elon Musk was on the big screen with a drink in his hand.
"Congratulations, Starship, on entering Martian orbit," he said, smiling and raising his flute of champagne from the now very distant Florida peninsula. "Cheers to the six of you and best wishes for a safe and stellar landing on Monday."
-- from the upcoming novel MARS COLONY AGATHA: NIKKI RED by Jack Chaucer, 1-1-20 ~ Jack Chaucer
Elon Musk quotes by Jack Chaucer
What I'm trying to do is to maximise the probability of the future being better. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
You should be innovating so fast that you're invalidating your prior patents ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I always invest my own money in the companies that I create. I don't believe in the whole thing of just using other people's money. I don't think that's right. I'm not going to ask other people to invest in something if I'm not prepared to do so myself. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I think it matters whether someone has a good heart. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I don't think it's a good idea to plan to sell a company. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
The pioneer and would-be spacefarer Elon Musk said he would like to die on Mars, though not on impact. Martian conditions suggest death on impact might be preferable. ~ James Lovelock
Elon Musk quotes by James Lovelock
I had so many people try to talk me out of starting a rocket company, it was crazy. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Focus on something that has high value to someone else, be really rigorous in making that assessment, because natural human tendency is wishful thinking, so the challenge to entrepreneurs is telling what's the difference between really believing in your ideals and sticking to them as opposed to pursuing some unrealistic dream that doesn't actually have merit, be very rigorous in your self analysis, certainly being extremely tenacious, and just work like hell. Put in 80-100 hours every week. All these things improves the odds of success ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
My vision is for a fully reusable rocket transport system between Earth and Mars that is able to re-fuel on Mars - this is very important - so you don't have to carry the return fuel when you go there. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
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. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by 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
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
My mentality is that of a samurai. I would rather commit seppuku than fail. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
But there is now a degree to which you have to ask whether his success is an indictment on the rest of us who have been working on much more incremental things. To the extent that the world still doubts Elon, I think it's a reflection on the insanity of the world and not on the supposed insanity of Elon. - Peter Thiel on Elon Musk ~ Ashlee Vance
Elon Musk quotes by Ashlee Vance
Here in the West, people often don't like listening to their leaders, even if they are right. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
You want to be extra rigorous about making the best possible thing you can. Find everything that's wrong with it and fix it. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
You should take the approach that you're wrong. Your goal is to be less wrong. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
It is despairing to consider that the cost and reliability of access to space have barely changed since the Apollo era over three decades ago. Yet in virtually every other field of technology, we have made great strides in reducing cost and increasing capability, ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I do love email. Wherever possible I try to communicate asynchronously. I'm really good at email. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Mars is the only place in the solar system where it's possible for life to become multi-planetarian. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
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
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I read books and talked to people. I mean that's kind of how one learns anything. There's lots of great books out there & lots of smart people. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I'm reasonably optimistic about the future, especially the future of the United States - for the century, at least. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Life is too short for long-term grudges. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
In the early days of aviation, there was a great deal of experimentation and a high death rate. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
You need to be in the position where it is the cost of the fuel that actually matters and not the cost of building the rocket in the first place. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
It's not as though we can keep burning coal in our power plants. Coal is a finite resource, too. We must find alternatives, and it's a better idea to find alternatives sooner then wait until we run out of coal, and in the meantime, put God knows how many trillions of tons of CO2 that used to be buried underground into the atmosphere. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I'd like to dial it back 5% or 10% and try to have a vacation that's not just e-mail with a view. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
As you heat the planet up, it's just like boiling a pot. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
You want to have a future where you're expecting things to be better, not one where you're expecting things to be worse. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
We have a strict 'no a-hole policy' at SpaceX. And we fire people they are. I mean, we give them a little bit of warning. But if they continue to be an a-hole, then they're fired. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Selling an electric sports car creates an opportunity to fundamentally change the way America drives. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Really, the only thing that makes sense is to strive for greater collective enlightenment. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I like the word 'autopilot' more than I like the word 'self-driving.' 'Self-driving' sounds like it's going to do something you don't want it to do. 'Autopilot' is a good thing to have in planes, and we should have it in cars. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I say something, and then it usually happens. Maybe not on schedule, but it usually happens. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
The overarching goal of Tesla is to help reduce carbon emissions and that means low cost and high volume. We will also serve as an example to the auto industry, proving that the technology really works and customers want to buy electric vehicles. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
From an evolutionary standpoint, human consciousness has not been around very long. A little light just went on after four and a half billion years. How often does that happen? Maybe it is quite rare. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Actively seek out and listen carefully to negative feedback. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
It's really incumbent upon us as life's agents to extend life to another planet. I think that being a multi-planet species will significantly increase the richness and scope of the human experience. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I think a lot of the American people feel more than a little disappointed that the high-water mark for human exploration was 1969. The dream of human space travel has almost died for a lot of people. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
The rumours of the demise of the U.S. manufacturing industry are greatly exaggerated. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Great companies are built on great products. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by 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. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
When we got Tesla going at the very beginning, if you asked me what I thought the odds of success were, I would have said less than 50%. I would have said that failure is the most likely outcome. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Really pay attention to negative feedback and solicit it, particularly from friends. ... Hardly anyone does that, and it's incredibly helpful. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
As a child I would just question things ... ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by 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
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
We need to be super careful with AI. Potentially more dangerous than nukes, ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I think life on Earth must be about more than just solving problems ... It's got to be something inspiring, even if it is vicarious. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
An asteroid or a supervolcano could certainly destroy us, but we also face risks the dinosaurs never saw: An engineered virus, nuclear war, inadvertent creation of a micro black hole, or some as-yet-unknown technology could spell the end of us. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
We could definitely make a flying car - but that's not the hard part. The hard part is, how do you make a flying car that's super safe and quiet? Because if it's a howler, you're going to make people very unhappy. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
One bit of advice: it is important to view knowledge as sort of a semantic tree - make sure you understand the fundamental principles, ie the trunk and big branches, before you get into the leaves/details or there is nothing for them to hang on to. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I really like computer games, but then if I made really great computer games, how much effect would that have on the world. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I'm interested in things that change the world or that affect the future and wondrous, new technology where you see it, and you're like, 'Wow, how did that even happen? How is that possible?' ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
My opinion is it's a bridge too far to go to fully autonomous cars. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
If we could do high-speed rail in California just half a notch above what they've done on the Shanghai line in China, and if we had a straight path from L.A. to San Francisco, as well as the milk run, at least that would be progress. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
If we're going to have any chance of sending stuff to other star systems, we need to be laser-focused on becoming a multi-planet civilisation. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
Space X's Elon Musk wants to colonize Mars with modules where earthlings can live. My teleporting technology is the number one way those individuals will get new information, new treatments of diseases that will occur on the planet, and new food sources. ~ Craig Venter
Elon Musk quotes by Craig Venter
When I was a little kid, I was really scared of the dark. But then I came to understand, dark just means the absence of photons in the visible wavelength--400 to 700 nanometers. Then I thought, well, it's really silly to be afraid of a lack of photons. Then I wasn't afraid of the dark anymore after that. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by 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
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
If humanity is to become multi-planetary, the fundamental breakthrough that needs to occur in rocketry is a rapidly and completely reusable rocket … achieving it would be on a par with what the Wright brothers did. It's the fundamental thing that's necessary for humanity to become a space-faring civilization. America would never have been colonized if ships weren't reusable. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
It was obvious to me that we could never colonize Mars without reusability, any more than America would have been colonized if they had to burn the ships after every trip. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
I could either watch it happen or be a part of it. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
People will buy the car just because it's a great car. We want them to think it's excellent value for money and then, oh yeah, it happens to be electric. ~ Elon Musk
Elon Musk quotes by Elon Musk
