Starting and growing a business is as much about the innovation, drive and determination of the people who do it as it is about the product they sell.

Nobody wants to buy a $60,000 electric Civic. But people will pay $90,000 for an electric sports car.

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.

There's a real opportunity to have a vertical takeoff and landing electric supersonic jet.

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.

I think there are too many smart people pursuing internet stuff, finance, and law. That is part of the reason why we haven't seen as much innovation.

People should pursue what they're passionate about. That will make them happier than pretty much anything else.
