Telegram CEO Pavel Durov: We love the fact that Elon bought Twitter. “You now have 𝕏 that is seemingly becoming more pro-freedom of speech. It's a great development. We love the fact that Elon bought Twitter. We thought it was a great development for a number of reasons. The…

Elon Musk: I am against forcing people to be vaccinated. “I'm very pro vaccination. I believe the science is unequivocal. I treat it to that effect. But by the same token, I am against forcing people to be vaccinated. I think this is just not something we should do in America. I…

Elon Musk: If you had 100 people on an island, how many of them would you like to see working on regulation? “They're trying to make economics sound very complicated, but it's really not that complicated. The standard of living increases when the average output of goods and…

Elon Musk: “I don't really have a business plan. I had a business plan way back in the Zip2 days. But these things are just always wrong, so I just didn't bother with business plans after that.”

Elon Musk: When I first suggested catching Starship's booster, people thought I lost my mind. “If you can move mass [from the rocket] to the ground site, it's better to move mass to the ground site. That's why we took legs off the booster and just have the tower catch it. It…

Jensen Huang: Elon is an extraordinary engineer. All of his projects are revolutionary. “I love working with him. We've built some amazing computers together. We're going to build many more computers together. The work that he's doing with Grok, his self-driving car, his…

Elon Musk: Right now, SpaceX is our only hope to become multiplanetary. Nobody else is doing it. “There are many good causes in the world, but we got to be careful we do not try to take on too many. There are many noble missions, but we have to pick our battles and make sure we…

Elon Musk: I became very good at manufacturing because I had to. There was no choice. Ted Cruz: “You're amazing at thinking outside the box. But what's interesting is you may even be better at execution. How do you execute so effectively?” Elon: “I take a physics…

Elon Musk: I probably wouldn't have started programming if it weren't for video games. “I wouldn't have been as interested in computers and technology if it weren't for video games. I think video games are a very powerful force for getting young kids interested in technology. It…

Elon Musk: It is irrelevant if you hate my guts or don't trust me. The track records of SpaceX and Tesla speak for themselves. “If you want satellites sent to orbit reliably, SpaceX will do 80% of all mass to orbit this year. China will do 12%. The rest of the world will do 8%.…

Elon Musk: Catching Starship's booster was an incredible achievement. “It's really mind-blowing that the SpaceX team has been able to catch the largest flying object ever made multiple times using a very novel method of catching it out of the air with giant chopsticks. I mean,…

Elon Musk: SpaceX wants to establish a link with Mars just like the Union Pacific established a link with California. “Assuming SpaceX can transport large numbers of people and goods to Mars, it will greatly enable entrepreneurial activity there. There's so much to do—everything…

Elon Musk: Mars will not be an escape hatch for the rich. It will be difficult and dangerous. “The moon and Mars are often thought of as some escape hatch for rich people. But it won't be that at all. For the early people who go to Mars, it'll be dangerous. It kind of reads like…

Elon Musk: Tunnels are under-appreciated “I have this company called the Boring Company, which sounds kind of boring, but it literally bores tunnels. In order to solve traffic, you really need to go 3D with roads. By using tunnels, you can essentially create like a wormhole,…

Elon Musk 12 years ago on establishing a base on Mars: Someone needs to work on it! “SpaceX or some combination of companies and governments need to make progress in the direction of making life multiplanetary, of establishing a base on another planet, Mars being the only…

Elon Musk: Tesla would never sue another car company for using our patents. “I don't like patents, personally. When I was first starting out developing technology, I got lots of patents, and I thought this was a good thing. And then I discovered that a patent was really like…

Elon Musk: Here's why Tesla's camera-only self-driving will be safer than Waymo's approach. David Faber: “Why do you feel that [Tesla's camera-only approach] is going to be the equivalent [to Waymo's with radar and LiDAR] in terms of safety profile?” Elon: “Oh, I think it'll be…

Elon Musk: Cross-fertilizing ideas between industries is a superpower. “In terms of manufacturing complex machines at volume, the automotive industry is the best. The space industry is very good at advanced materials and making things very light. So, taking advanced materials…

Elon Musk: SpaceX is successful because our product is much better and costs less, not because of government subsidies. “We do essential work for the government. We do useful essential work that we compete for and win contracts on because our product is much better and costs…

Elon Musk: The fundamental limitation on AI is going to be electricity generation. “A few years ago I made a very obvious prediction which is that the limitation on AI will be chips, and it's still chips today. Then, it will be electrical equipment because you need to take power…
