Elon Musk: If I wasn't optimistic, I wouldn't be doing the crazy things that I'm doing. “This is really all just measured in terms of time. What is the time risk associated with something? The one thing you cannot replace is time. I do have a habit of being optimistic with schedules. If I wasn't optimistic, I wouldn't be doing the crazy things that I'm doing. I'm just pathologically optimistic, I suppose.” Everyday Astronaut Starbase Tour 2021, August 7, 2021

ELON MUSK: Who starts a car company and a rocket company expecting them to succeed? Certainly not me. I thought they both had less than a 10% chance of success.

ELON MUSK: "It is certainly hard to believe that little company that started in a warehouse in El Segundo is now going public. It was the largest IPO ever, and let me tell you, if people had told me this was gonna happen, I was like, man, you must be smoking some really good crack, because I think this company is gonna fail. I gave SpaceX less than a 10% chance of succeeding at all. To be clear, in fact, I told people this. I said, look, we’re probably going to fail, but you know, should give it a try, because if we don’t, if there’s not a new company that enters space, we will never be a truly space-bearing civilization."

🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk speaks from Starbase as SpaceX goes public, with the largest IPO EVER "If people had told me this was going to happen [years ago], I would be like, man, you must be smoking some REALLY good crack because I think this company is going to fail!" 🤣 "I gave SpaceX less than a 10% chance of succeeding at all, to be clear. In fact, I told people this: I said, 'look, we're probably going to fail, but, you know, we should give it a try because if we don't, if if there's not a new company that enters space, we will never be a truly spacefaring civilization.'" 💯 Elon Musk $SPCX

Trump: "I hear news reports about China giving the shoulder missiles. I doubt they would do that because I have a relationship and I think they wouldn't do that, but maybe they did a little bit at the beginning, but I don't think they would anymore. But if we catch them doing that they get a 50% tariff."

Canadian PM Mark Carney admits: Lecturing countries from afar is an ineffective strategy. It's satisfying, but it's ineffective. I addressed a Canadian consular case in Ankara two days ago, and because I was with the President, it was addressed favorably. If I sat in Ottawa and pointed out all the things that we might not agree with—what Türkiye has done, is doing, or might do—I wouldn't have had that conversation. I wouldn't have had that impact. That's a small example, but it is an example of a broader point.

Trump: "They knocked out 54 ships in two days. And they're real ships. I got mad at my people. I said, 'Why the hell did we kill them? Why didn't we just capture them and use them in our Navy?' They said they wouldn't have qualified for that. But I got a little upset. One of my generals said, 'Sir, it's a lot more fun doing it this way.'"

The company for you is like having a child. Once you have a company, you have to feed it and nurse it and take care of it, even if it ruins you. Yes, Elon, it was worth it! Elon Musk: “I didn't think it would be easy. Like I said, I thought they would probably fail. But you know, creating a company is almost like having a child. So it's sort of like, how do you say your child should not have food? Can we just break for a second? Man, I sure hope it was worth it, sure hope so, sure hope it was worth it.”

Elon Musk: I didn't start Tesla to try to get rich. I thought I'd lose all my money, and almost did. “The reason that I'm doing it, and certainly a lot of people at Tesla are doing it, is because we think it actually is going to make a difference to the world if we transition to sustainable transport sooner rather than later. We're not doing this because we thought it was like a way to get rich or anything. Like I said, I thought there was maybe 10% chance of success at the beginning. I thought I'd just lose all my money and almost did. I came very close to losing everything.” Interview with Bloomberg TV, January 14, 2015

"I like 'Kiss Me Deadly' (1955) very much. I just don't think it was as important a film as some people thought it was." --- Robert Aldrich Full Excerpt: "Interviewer: We all like 'Kiss Me Deadly' (1955), but hear that you don't. Aldrich: Oh no, that's not true. I like this one very much and I'm very proud of it. If you remember when it was made was the time all the New Wave directors were editors on Cahiers. And they read into it many more things than were intended. And I think it was Truffaut who asked me at Venice the following year if I wasn't proud and happy or something about the things that Cahiers had said about it. And I am a lot older and wiser now, and I suppose I should have said "Yes" and let it go at that. But I said something to the effect that I was very glad they said it, but I couldn't really take credit for all those rather deep and significant thoughts because they weren't all intended. I am glad that they were there; maybe some of them were subconscious, but I thought a lot of them were read in. And naturally, if you had been the author of this kind of thing, you would have felt a little bit cheated, and I think they did. I think they didn't resent it, but they felt a little hurt . . . No, I like the picture very much. I just don't think it was as important a film as some people thought it was." (Robert Aldrich's interview with Ian Cameron & Mark Shivas, 1963) P.S: On this day, 71 years ago "Kiss Me Deadly" (1955) premiered in New York City, USA.

Elon Musk: I'm somewhat pathologically optimistic, but I do deliver in the end. “When we were kids in school, my brother would tell me the wrong time for the bus so that I wouldn't miss the bus. And then I'd be upset with him. Why'd you tell me the bus was going to come earlier than it was? And he would say, well, because otherwise you'd be late for the bus. This is an actual thing that would happen. So, I guess I've been sort of pathologically optimistic from birth. But that's the reason all this stuff is happening anyway. I got to be somewhat pathologically optimistic. But I do deliver in the end. That's the important thing.” Tesla Shareholder Meeting, June 13, 2024

"If Elon didn't purchase Twitter, we would have just had to deal with that kind of stuff. And it would accelerate. It wouldn't stay where it is. It would ramp up." Daily Caller

Elon Musk: I gave SpaceX and Tesla all my money, and then I didn't have a house and had to borrow money for rent. “We blew up three rockets in the beginning. That was bad. Originally, I basically took all the money I made from PayPal, put it into SpaceX, Tesla and SolarCity. Initially, I figured I'd keep half of it, and then I'd spend the other half on these crazy ventures that would probably fail. And then, unfortunately, they needed all the money, so I had to give them all the money. And then I didn't have a house and had to borrow money for rent. That was pretty difficult. That was back in 2008. And then, we managed to scrape enough spare parts together to do a fourth launch at SpaceX and that worked. And if it had not worked, SpaceX would have died, probably would have lacked the credibility to raise the remaining money for Tesla and we wouldn't be here today.” Interview at E3 Coliseum, June 13, 2019
