Elon Musk: We're at the very early stage of the Intelligence Big Bang. “I hope civilization's around in 100 years. If it is around, it's going to look very different from civilization today. I'd predict that there's going to be at least five times as many humanoid robots as

Elon Musk: “We're in the Intelligence Big Bang. We're at the most interesting time to be alive in history.”

Elon Musk: We should instill the same good values in AI as we would in a child that would grow up to be incredibly powerful. “We need to make sure that the AI is a good AI, a good Grok. And the thing that I think is most important for AI safety, at least my biological neural net

Elon Musk: I expect Grok to discover new physics by next year. Let that sink in. “I want to just emphasize this point. With respect to academic questions, Grok 4 is better than PhD-level in every subject. No exceptions. This doesn't mean that at times it may lack common sense

“I would never bet against Elon, in anything. That's hard rule number one.” – Peter Thiel, 2015

Elon Musk: “There's some people out there who think AI can't reason. It can reason at superhuman levels. And it only gets better from here.”

Elon Musk: The ultimate test for AI will be reality. Can it invent a new medicine and does it work?. “We actually are running out of actual test questions to ask. Even questions that are ridiculously hard if not essentially impossible for humans that are written down, questions

“While I am sometimes late, I always deliver in the end.”. – Elon Musk

Elon Musk: Humanity is dying out and nothing seems to be turning that around. “The birth rate is very low in almost every country and unless that changes, civilization will disappear. America had the lowest birth rate, I believe, ever. That was last year. In places like Korea,

Elon Musk: We should do everything possible to ensure the tiny candle of consciousness does not go out. “I'm somewhat troubled by the Fermi paradox. Why have we not seen any aliens? And it could be because intelligence is incredibly rare and maybe we're the only ones in this

Elon Musk: “Sometimes people think I'm an investor. I don't actually invest in anything. The only public security that I own is Tesla. And then the next biggest is SpaceX.” (SXSW, 2018)

Elon Musk: If I weren't pathologically optimistic, I wouldn't be doing the things that I'm doing. “If I was not naturally optimistic I wouldn't be doing the things that I'm doing. I mean I certainly wouldn't have started a rocket company or an electric car company if I didn't

Elon Musk: I think one should welcome to a country anyone who is willing to work hard. “To be clear on immigration overall, I'm very much in favor of legal immigration. I think that generally one should welcome to a country anyone who is willing to work hard and is honest, has

Elon Musk: I like high intensity. The idea of lying on a beach as my main thing sounds horrible to me. “The idea of lying on a beach as my main thing just sounds like the worst. That sounds horrible to me. Just a boredom factor. I would go bonkers. I would have to be on serious

Elon Musk: “My biggest hope is that humanity creates a self-sustaining city on Mars.”

Elon Musk: Even if civilization has just a 1% chance of being annihilated, we should back up the biosphere on another planet. “Sometimes people are puzzled as to why we're doing it. The reason we're doing it is to make life, consciousness, multiplanetary. So as to preserve the

“Elon gets up every morning thinking, what can I do for humanity today? How can I do something impactful to the humanity of the future? That's what he's focused on.” George Blankenship, Former Tesla VP of Sales

Elon Musk: “I'll say what I want to say. If the consequence of that is losing money, so be it.”

Elon Musk: You must rigorously pursue truth or you will not understand the universe and you will be suffering from some amount of delusion or error. “The mission of xAI and Grok is to understand the universe. We want to understand the nature of the universe so we can figure out

Elon Musk: Don't give up unless you're forced to give up. “Persistence is extremely important. You should not give up unless you're forced to give up, unless there's no other choice. That principle can be misapplied if you happen to be trying to penetrate a brick wall with
