If we drive down the cost of transportation in space, we can do great things.

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

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.

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.

If you get up in the morning and think the future is going to be better, it is a bright day. Otherwise, it’s not.

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.

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.
