I Think You Should Always

It Is A Mistake To Hire Huge Numbers Of People To Get A Complicated Job Done. Numbers Will Never Compensate For Talent In Getting The Right Answer (two People Who Don't Know Something Are No Better Than One), Will Tend To Slow Down Progress, And Will Make The Task Incredibly Expensive.

Persistence Is Very Important. You Should Not Give Up Unless You Are Forced To Give Up.

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.

I'm Increasingly Inclined To Think There Should Be Some Regulatory Oversight, Maybe At The National And International Level Just To Make Sure That We Don't Do Something Very Foolish.

I Just Want To Retire Before I Go Senile Because If I Don't Retire Before I Go Senile, Then I'll Do More Damage Than Good At That Point.
