A Quote by Stephen Colbert

No one has any idea what's going to happen. Not even Elon Musk. That's why he's building those rockets. He wants a 'Plan B' on another world.

We went to SpaceX to talk to Elon Musk, that was cool. He gave us the tour. We couldn't film it or anything. There were rockets, it was impressive. It was a lot of cool stuff.

Ivica Zubac

My interest in space started early, but for many years, I could not find any space-related investments that really penciled-out for venture. That changed in 2009 when Elon Musk came to us with a big vision to explore Mars while producing rockets at a fraction of a price and making space accessible.

Steve Jurvetson

I'm not going to take anyone else's word for it, or NASA, or especially Elon Musk with SpaceX. I'm going to build my own rocket right here and I'm going to see it with my own eyes what shape this world we live on.

Mike Hughes

This idea of 'cool capitalism' is still capitalism. It doesn't matter if Elon Musk quotes Nas.

Boots Riley

Space X's Elon Musk wants to colonize Mars with modules where earthlings can live. My teleporting technology is the number one way those individuals will get new information, new treatments of diseases that will occur on the planet, and new food sources.

Craig Venter

Elon Musk wins you over with his elegant mastery of engineering, be it for the rocket or the car. But what blew my socks off was when our conversation veered way off topic. We started musing about whether it was possible we all lived in the matrix, and Musk still had deep knowledge.

Steve Jurvetson

Elon Musk is a cool cookie.

John Collison

I wish I was as annotative as Elon Musk.

Glenn Kelman

Elon Musk is a remarkable individual.

Elon Musk with PayPal revolutionized banking.

Peter Diamandis

I know Elon, we're very like minded in many ways. We're not conceptual twins. One thing I want us to do is go to Mars, but for me it's one thing. He's singularly focused on that. I think motivation wise, for me I don't find that Plan B idea motivating. I don't want a plan B for Earth, I want Plan B to make sure Plan A works.

Jeff Bezos

After reading the Elon Musk book and getting a Tesla - he is at the top of my list of inspiring founders.

Michael Seibel

I think it's very easy for people who are not deep in the technology itself to make generalizations, which may be a little dangerous. And we've certainly seen that recently with Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking, all saying AI is just taking off and it's going to take over the world very quickly. And the thing that they share is none of them work in this technological field.

Rodney Brooks

Basically I have claimed legal entities for very famous people - they can't even exist - which are Barack Obama, Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Warren Edward Buffett. I own the legal entities they're operating under. They know this.

Mike Hughes

Mark Zuckerberg talks about telepathy, and Elon Musk has invested in trying to create a brain-machine interface.
