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 think long term you can see Tesla establishing factories in Europe, in other parts of the U.S. and in Asia.

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.

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.

In almost any industry, if you're passionate about doing a great job and making people that buy your product or service as happy as possible, it's really fulfilling.
