What Elon Musk has done for a first time

• His SpaceX company made history, successfully completing the first commercial rocket launch from the NASA launch pad.[February 2017].
• In January 2021, following a surge in the valuation of Tesla Inc., he became the richest person in the world, surpassing Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, and the first person to have a net worth of over $200 billion.

Elon Musk's quotes

• 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.
• I do love email. Wherever possible I try to communicate asynchronously. I'm really good at email.
• Brand is just a perception, and perception will match reality over time. Sometimes it will be ahead, other times it will be behind. But brand is simply a collective impression some have about a product.
• I think that's the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.
• 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.
• 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.
• When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.
• When Henry Ford made cheap, reliable cars people said, 'Nah, what's wrong with a horse?' That was a huge bet he made, and it worked.
• 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.
• I would like to die on Mars. Just not on impact.
• If you're trying to create a company, it's like baking a cake. You have to have all the ingredients in the right proportion.
• When I was in college, I wanted to be involved in things that would change the world.
• I don't spend my time pontificating about high-concept things; I spend my time solving engineering and manufacturing problems.
• Patience is a virtue, and I'm learning patience. It's a tough lesson.
• It's OK to have your eggs in one basket as long as you control what happens to that basket.
• Life is too short for long-term grudges.
• The fuel cell is just a fundamentally inferior way of delivering electrical energy to an electric motor than batteries.
• My background educationally is physics and economics, and I grew up in sort of an engineering environment - my father is an electromechanical engineer. And so there were lots of engineery things around me.
• I've actually not read any books on time management.
• 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.
• Really, the only thing that makes sense is to strive for greater collective enlightenment.
• There are some important differences between me and Tony Stark, like I have five kids, so I spend more time going to Disneyland than parties.
• 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.
• I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.
• Silicon Valley has evolved a critical mass of engineers and venture capitalists and all the support structure - the law firms, the real estate, all that - that are all actually geared toward being accepting of startups.
• It's obviously tricky to convert cellulose to a useful biofuel. I think actually the most efficient way to use cellulose is to burn it in a co-generation power plant. That will yield the most energy and that is something you can do today.
• 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.
• 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.
• I tend to approach things from a physics framework. And physics teaches you to reason from first principles rather than by analogy.
• Silicon Valley has some of the smartest engineers and technology business people in the world.
• I feel very strongly that SpaceX would not have been able to get started, nor would we have made the progress that we have, without the help of NASA.
• You could warm Mars up, over time, with greenhouse gases.
• If humanity doesn't land on Mars in my lifetime, I would be very disappointed.
• Any product that needs a manual to work is broken.
• The reason we should do a carbon tax is because it's the right thing to do. It's economics 101, elementary stuff.
• America is the spirit of human exploration distilled.
• The rumours of the demise of the U.S. manufacturing industry are greatly exaggerated.
• 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.
• 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.
• Automotive franchise laws were put in place decades ago to prevent a manufacturer from unfairly opening stores in direct competition with an existing franchise dealer that had already invested time, money and effort to open and promote their business.
• I'm anti-tax, but I'm pro-carbon tax.
• The odds of me coming into the rocket business, not knowing anything about rockets, not having ever built anything, I mean, I would have to be insane if I thought the odds were in my favor.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• In the case of Apple, they did originally do production internally, but then along came unbelievably good outsourced manufacturing from companies like Foxconn. We don't have that in the rocket business. There's no Foxconn in the rocket business.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Some people don't like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster.
• The future of humanity is going to bifurcate in two directions: Either it's going to become multiplanetary, or it's going to remain confined to one planet and eventually there's going to be an extinction event.
• Facebook is quite entrenched and has a network effect. It's hard to break into a network once it's formed.
• 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.
• I just want to retire before I go senile because if I don't retire before I go senile, then I'll do more damage than good at that point.
• People work better when they know what the goal is and why. It is important that people look forward to coming to work in the morning and enjoy working.
• I wouldn't say I have a lack of fear. In fact, I'd like my fear emotion to be less because it's very distracting and fries my nervous system.
• If anyone has a vested interest in space solar power, it would have to be me.
• The space shuttle was often used as an example of why you shouldn't even attempt to make something reusable. But one failed experiment does not invalidate the greater goal. If that was the case, we'd never have had the light bulb.
• 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.
• Land on Mars, a round-trip ticket - half a million dollars. It can be done.
• My opinion is it's a bridge too far to go to fully autonomous cars.
• If we drive down the cost of transportation in space, we can do great things.
• In order for us to have a future that's exciting and inspiring, it has to be one where we're a space-bearing civilization.
• 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.
• As you heat the planet up, it's just like boiling a pot.
• I've been to Disneyland, like, 10 times. I'm getting really tired of Disneyland.
• I don't create companies for the sake of creating companies, but to get things done.
• 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.
• Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It's really counterintuitive.
• Great companies are built on great products.
• Mars is the only place in the solar system where it's possible for life to become multi-planetarian.
• I think long term you can see Tesla establishing factories in Europe, in other parts of the U.S. and in Asia.
• I'm personally a moderate and a registered independent, so I'm not strongly Democratic or strongly Republican.
• In order to have your voice be heard in Washington, you have to make some little contribution.
• I'm glad to see that BMW is bringing an electric car to market. That's cool.
• Selling an electric sports car creates an opportunity to fundamentally change the way America drives.
• I'm a Silicon Valley guy. I just think people from Silicon Valley can do anything.
• Nobody wants to buy a $60,000 electric Civic. But people will pay $90,000 for an electric sports car.
• Boeing just took $20 billion and 10 years to improve the efficiency of their planes by 10 percent. That's pretty lame. I have a design in mind for a vertical liftoff supersonic jet that would be a really big improvement.
• Tesla is becoming a real car company.
• Rockets are cool. There's no getting around that.
• It is theoretically possible to warp spacetime itself, so you're not actually moving faster than the speed of light, but it's actually space that's moving.
• A battery by definition is a collection of cells. So the cell is a little can of chemicals. And the challenge is taking a very high-energy cell, and a large number of them, and combining them safely into a large battery.
• Biofuels such as ethanol require enormous amounts of cropland and end up displacing either food crops or natural wilderness, neither of which is good.
• Government isn't that good at rapid advancement of technology. It tends to be better at funding basic research. To have things take off, you've got to have commercial companies do it.
• Trying to read our DNA is like trying to understand software code - with only 90% of the code riddled with errors. It's very difficult in that case to understand and predict what that software code is going to do.
• Obviously Tesla is about helping solve the consumption of energy in a sustainable manner, but you need the production of energy in a sustainable manner.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• If you want to grow a giant redwood, you need to make sure the seeds are ok, nurture the sapling, and work out what might potentially stop it from growing all the way along. Anything that breaks it at any point stops that growth.
• I think we are at the dawn of a new era in commercial space exploration.
• The U.S. automotive industry has been selling cars the same way for over 100 years, and there are many laws in place to govern exactly how that is to be accomplished.
• If you think back to the beginning of cell phones, laptops or really any new technology, it's always expensive.
• SpaceX has the potential of saving the U.S. government $1 billion a year. We are opposed to creating an entrenched monopoly with no realistic means for anyone to compete.
• In the early days of aviation, there was a great deal of experimentation and a high death rate.
• Tesla is here to stay and keep fighting for the electric car revolution.
• 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.
• If you had to buy a new plane every time you flew somewhere, it would be incredibly expensive.
• Some companies out there quote a start of production that is substantially in advance of when customers get their cars.
• Winning 'Motor Trend' Car of the year is probably the closest thing to winning the Oscar or Emmy of the car industry.
• I'm reasonably optimistic about the future, especially the future of the United States - for the century, at least.
• 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.
• I don't think it's a good idea to plan to sell a company.
• Self-driving cars are the natural extension of active safety and obviously something we should do.
• I hate writing about personal stuff. I don't have a Facebook page. I don't use my Twitter account. I am familiar with both, but I don't use them.
• What I'm trying to do is, is to make a significant difference in space flight. And help make space flight accessible to almost anyone.
• Given that this is the first time in 4.5 billion years where it's been possible for humanity to extend life beyond Earth
• [on the possibly of extending life beyond earth]it seems like we'd be wise to act while the window was open and not count on the fact it will be open for a long time
• this is the first time in 4.5 billion years where it's been possible for humanity to extend life beyond Earth.[February 2017]
• I'd like to be on the cover of Rolling Stone (magazine). That would be cool.
• [as reported by Maureen Dowd] It's great when the emperor is Marcus Aurelius. It's not so great when the emperor is Caligula.
• The rumor that I'm secretly creating a zombie apocalypse to generate demand for flame throwers is completely false.
• Car biz is hell! [Elon on Twitter, April 2, 2018]
• Pronouns suck.
