Elon Musk

I'm a free speech absolutist.

Some people use their hair to express themselves. I use Twitter.

I do think that sometimes in the pursuit of perfection, people get stuck.

I think the internet is a super powerful tool, and it's a great way to communicate.

I think it's important to be optimistic, but also realistic.

I think we should be pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

I think we should be doing everything we can to make life multi-planetary.

I think it's important to have a sense of humor about things.

I actually don't want to be CEO of anything. I just want to be an engineer.

The more rockets we launch, the more likely it is that we'll have a self-sustaining civilization on Mars.

If I can convince enough people that Mars is a good idea, then it will happen.

I think it's important to reason from first principles rather than by analogy.

The factory is the product.

The greatest danger is not that we aim too high and miss, but that we aim too low and hit.

I'm doing my best to make sure the future is good.

I don't spend my time pontificating about high-concept things; I spend my time trying to build things.

I really like to do things that have a positive impact on the world.

I think we're at the dawn of a new age of space exploration.

I could create a Twitter competitor and it would be way better than Twitter.

I do not want to be the leader of anyone. I want to inspire people to do things.
