“The climate is like a bathtub that’s slowly filling up with water. Even if we slow the flow of water to a trickle, the tub will eventually fill up and water will come spilling out onto the floor. That’s the disaster we have to prevent. Setting a goal to only reduce our emissions—but not eliminate them—won’t do it.” ― Elon Musk
“There are two numbers you need to know about climate change. The first is 51 billion. The other is zero. Fifty-one billion is how many tons of greenhouse gases the world typically adds to the atmosphere every year.” ― Elon Musk
“If you want to understand the kind of damage that climate change will inflict, look at COVID-19 and then imagine spreading the pain out over a much longer period of time.” ― Elon Musk

“Invention is by its very nature disruptive. If you want to be understood at all times, then don't do anything new.” ― Elon Musk
“When you receive criticism from well-meaning people, it pays to ask, ‘Are they right?’ And if they are, you need to adapt what they’re doing. If they’re not right, if you really have conviction that they’re not right, you need to have that long-term willingness to be misunderstood. It’s a key part of invention.” ― Elon Musk
“If you decide that you’re going to do only the things you know are going to work, you’re going to leave a lot of opportunity on the table.” ― Elon Musk
“If you're doing anything interesting in the world, you are going to have critics. You can't stop it. Move forward. It's not worth losing any sleep over.” ― Elon Musk
“Second, most decisions should probably be made with somewhere around 70 percent of the information you wish you had. If you wait for 90 percent, in most cases, you’re probably being slow. Plus, either way, you need to be good at quickly recognizing and correcting bad decisions. If you’re good at course correcting, being wrong may be less costly than you think, whereas being slow is going to be expensive for sure.” ― Elon Musk
“Life needs to be more than just solving problems every day. You need to wake up and be excited about the future.” ― Elon Musk
“You need to live in a dome initially, but over time you could terraform Mars to look like Earth and eventually walk around outside without anything on... So it's a fixer-upper of a planet.” ― Elon Musk
“If you buy a ticket to hell, it isn't fair to blame hell.” ― Elon Musk
“If you punish people too much for failure, then they will respond accordingly and the innovation you will get will be very incrementalist. Nobody's going to try anything bold for fear of getting fired or punished in some way. The risk/reward must be balanced, in favor of making bold moves.” ― Elon Musk
“If you're not concerned about AI safety, you should be. Vastly more risk than North Korea.” ― Elon Musk
“If you give yourself 30 days to clean to clean your home, it will take you 30 days. But if you give yourself 3 hours, it will take your 3 hours . The same applies to your goals, ambitions and potential.” ― Elon Musk
