- It’s OK to have your eggs in one basket as long as you control what happens to that basket.

Best Elon Musk Quotes
- Work like hell. I mean you just have to put in 80 to 100 hour weeks every week. [This] improves the odds of success.

- What makes innovative thinking happen?… I think it’s really a mindset. You have to decide.
- There are really two things that have to occur in order for a new technology to be affordable to the mass market. One is you need economies of scale. The other is you need to iterate on the design. You need to go through a few versions.
- The first step is to establish that something is possible; then probability will occur.
- Talent is extremely important. It’s like a sports team, the team that has the best individual player will often win, but then there’s a multiplier from how those players work together and the strategy they employ.

- I don’t create companies for the sake of creating companies, but to get things done.
- I don’t believe in process. In fact, when I interview a potential employee and he or she says that ‘it’s all about the process,’ I see that as a bad sign. The problem is that at a lot of big companies, process becomes a substitute for thinking. You’re encouraged to behave like a little gear in a complex machine. Frankly, it allows you to keep people who aren’t that smart, who aren’t that creative.
- I don’t spend my time pontificating about high-concept things; I spend my time solving engineering and manufacturing problems
- I don’t create companies for the sake of creating companies, but to get things done

- 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.
- Being an entrepreneur is like eating glass and staring into the abyss of death.

Elon Musk Simulation Quote
- The strongest argument for us probably being in a simulation is the following: 40 years ago we had pong, like two rectangles and a dot. That was what games were. Now 40 years later we have photorealistic 3D simulations with millions of people playing simultaneously, and its getting better every year.
- The absence of any noticeable life may be an argument in favour of us being in a simulation. Like when you’re playing an adventure game, and you can see the stars in the background, but you can’t ever get there. If it’s not a simulation, then maybe we’re in a lab and there’s some advanced alien civilisation that’s just watching how we develop, out of curiosity, like mould in a petri dish.
- Soon there will be virtual reality, and augmented reality. If you assume any rate of improvement at all, then games will become indistinguishable from reality. Even if that rate of advancement drops from a 1,000 of what it is right now, then you just say let’s imagine it’s 10,000 years in the future, which is nothing in the evolutionary scale.
- If you look at our current technology level, something strange has to happen to civilisations, and I mean strange in a bad way. And it could be that there are a whole lot of dead, one-planet civilisations.
- I’ve had so many simulation discussions it’s crazy. In fact, it got to the point where every conversation we had was the AI / simulation conversation. And my brother and I finally agreed that we would ban such conversations if we were ever in a hot tub, because that really kills the magic.
- Given that we’re clearly on a trajectory to have games that are indistinguishable from reality and those games could be played on any set top box or any PC, and their would probably be billions of computer or set top boxes, it would seem to follow that the odds we are in base reality are one in billions.
- Arguably we should hope that’s true [that we’re living in a simulation]. Because otherwise if civilization stops advancing that may be due to some calamitous event that erases civilization. So maybe we should be hopeful that this is a simulation, because otherwise we are going to create civilizations that are indistinguishable form reality, or civilization will cease to exist.

- I always have optimism, but I’m realistic. It was not with the expectation of great success that I started Tesla or SpaceX… It’s just that I thought they were important enough to do anyway.
- 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 we have a duty to maintain the light of consciousness to make sure it continues into the future.

Elon Musk Ai Quotes
- [Governments] don’t need to follow normal laws. They will obtain AI developed by companies at gunpoint, if necessary.
- I am not normally an advocate of regulation and oversight…I think one should generally err on the side of minimizing those things…but this is a case where you have a very serious danger to the public.
- AI is a rare case where I think we need to be proactive in regulation than be reactive.
- AI will be the best or worst thing ever for humanity.
- China, Russia, soon all countries w[ith] strong computer science. Competition for AI superiority at national level most likely cause of WW3.
- I have exposure to the most cutting edge AI, and I think people should be really concerned by it…AI is a fundamental risk to the existence of human civilization in a way that car accidents, airplane crashes, faulty drugs or bad food were not — they were harmful to a set of individuals within society, of course, but they were not harmful to society as a whole.
- If AI has a goal and humanity just happens to be in the way, it will destroy humanity as a matter of course without even thinking about it…It’s just like, if we’re building a road and an anthill just happens to be in the way, we don’t hate ants, we’re just building a road.
- If you’re not concerned about AI safety, you should be. Vastly more risk(y) than North Korea.
- Mark my words, AI is far more dangerous than nukes…why do we have no regulatory oversight?
- Robots will be able to do everything better than us…I am not sure exactly what to do about this. This is really the scariest problem to me.
- The biggest issue I see with so-called AI experts is that they think they know more than they do, and they think they are smarter than they actually are…This tends to plague smart people. They define themselves by their intelligence and they don’t like the idea that a machine could be way smarter than them, so they discount the idea — which is fundamentally flawed.
- The least scary future I can think of is one where we have at least democratized AI…[also] when there’s an evil dictator, that human is going to die. But for an AI, there would be no death. It would live forever. And then you’d have an immortal dictator from which we can never escape.
