Physics is really figuring out how to discover new things that are counterintuitive, like quantum mechanics. It's really counterintuitive.

For my part, I will never give up, and I mean never.

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.

Tesla is here to stay and keep fighting for the electric car revolution.

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.

If you think back to the beginning of cell phones, laptops or really any new technology, it's always expensive.

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.
