The X is an amazing car, but we kind of got carried away with the art and technology. Obviously, you want great art. You want great technology. But we did get a little distracted from our mission, which was to advance the cause of electric vehicles. And it probably delayed us a little bit with the Model 3 as well.
Elon MuskI work very hard, and I play very hard. I’m grateful for life. And I live it – I believe life loves the liver of it. I live it.
Maya AngelouIn this day and age, when you can use a machine or computer to simulate or emulate what people can do together, it still can’t replace the magic of four people in a room playing.
Dave GrohlThe world is not flat, and PCs are not, in the hierarchy of human needs, in the first five rungs.
Bill GatesIf all misfortunes were laid in one common heap whence everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be contented to take their own and depart.
SocratesThis revolution, the information revoultion, is a revolution of free energy as well, but of another kind: free intellectual energy. It’s very crude today, yet our Macintosh computer takes less power than a 100-watt bulb to run it and it can save you hours a day. What will it be able to do ten or 20 years from now, or 50 years from now?
Steve JobsTechnology is huge; I wanted to learn about it. People might say that’s odd, but I think it’s odd if artists aren’t interested in the world around them. I’m always chasing that.
BonoThe Internet is a toilet. It is.
Lady GagaIn the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
Khalil GibranFirst, how do we give everyone a fair shot at opportunity and security in this new economy? Second, how do we make technology work for us, and not against us – especially when it comes to solving urgent challenges like climate change? Third, how do we keep America safe and lead the world without becoming its policeman?
Barack ObamaThe multiplication force of technology on cognitive differences is massive.
Jordan PetersonOf all the inventions of humans, the computer is going to rank near or at the top as history unfolds and we look back. It is the most awesome tool that we have ever invented. I feel incredibly lucky to be at exactly the right place in Silicon Valley, at exactly the right time, historically, where this invention has taken form.
Steve JobsI hate to mention age, but I come from an era when we weren’t consumed by technology and television.
Jimmy BuffettI think there will be PCs at every price point.
Bill GatesI hope I didn’t bore you too much with my life story.
Elvis PresleyI mean Facebook is no longer a company, it’s a country. 2 billion users. It can influence what we think, what we believe, how we vote, what we buy, even how we feel.
John KennedyFacebook is quite entrenched and has a network effect. It’s hard to break into a network once it’s formed.
Elon MuskJesus teaches us another way: Go out. Go out and share your testimony, go out and interact with your brothers, go out and share, go out and ask. Become the Word in body as well as spirit.
Pope FrancisScience in the modern world has many uses; its chief use, however, is to provide long words to cover the errors of the rich.
Gilbert K. ChestertonI wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.
Benjamin FranklinTo turn really interesting ideas and fledgling technologies into a company that can continue to innovate for years, it requires a lot of disciplines.
Steve JobsAs an entrepreneur, as an investor, I’m trying to be as educated as I can to where the progression of technological capability is going and what it does to these different categories that, me as an artist and an influencer, I can get involved and bring value.
Nipsey HussleWe’ve arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology.
Carl SaganI do think there should be some regulations on AI.
Elon MuskI just think that VR and AR are going to be a really big deal.
Mark ZuckerbergIt’s easier to add things on to a PC than it’s ever been before. It’s one click, and boom, it comes down.
Bill GatesYou can’t really imagine music without technology.
Brian EnoThese technologies can make life easier, can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups, get medical information, the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I’m not downplaying that.
Steve JobsMicrosoft has had two goals in the last 10 years. One was to copy the Mac, and the other was to copy Lotus‘ success in the spreadsheet – basically, the applications business. And over the course of the last 10 years, Microsoft accomplished both of those goals. And now they are completely lost.
Steve JobsSpaceX is only 12 years old now. Between now and 2040, the company’s lifespan will have tripled. If we have linear improvement in technology, as opposed to logarithmic, then we should have a significant base on Mars, perhaps with thousands or tens of thousands of people.
Elon MuskThe biggest mistake we made as a company was betting too much on HTML5.
Mark ZuckerbergSometimes cameras and television are good to people and sometimes they aren’t. I don’t know if its the way you say it, or how you look.
Dan QuayleYou forget that the fruits belong to all and that the land belongs to no one.
Jean-Jacques RousseauThe march of science and technology does not imply growing intellectual complexity in the lives of most people. It often means the opposite.
Thomas SowellI think that technology is always invented for historical reasons, to solve a historical problem. But they very soon reveal themselves to be capable of doing things that aren’t historical that nobody had ever thought of doing before.
Brian EnoTechnology is nothing. What’s important is that you have a faith in people, that they’re basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they’ll do wonderful things with them.
Steve JobsWhat is Apple, after all? Apple is about people who think ‚outside the box,‘ people who want to use computers to help them change the world, to help them create things that make a difference, and not just to get a job done.
Steve JobsIf future generations are to remember us more with gratitude than sorrow, we must achieve more than just the miracles of technology. We must also leave them a glimpse of the world as it was created, not just as it looked when we got through with it.
Lyndon B. JohnsonIt’s a juicy thing to say we’re building a phone, which is why people want to write about it. But it’s so clearly the wrong strategy for us.
Mark ZuckerbergInformation is the oxygen of the modern age. It seeps through the walls topped by barbed wire, it wafts across the electrified borders.
Ronald ReaganI think the thing we see is that as people are using video games more, they tend to watch passive TV a bit less. And so using the PC for the Internet, playing video games, is starting to cut into the rather unbelievable amount of time people spend watching TV.
Bill GatesThe reason that Apple is able to create products like the iPad is because we’ve always tried to be at the intersection of technology and the liberal arts.
Steve JobsI can unload my opinion on anybody at anytime.
Anthony BourdainWe have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.
Carl SaganHarnessing steam power required many innovations, as William Rosen chronicles in the book ‚The Most Powerful Idea in the World.‘
Bill GatesMusic is this divine thing, the closest that we can get to something divine. It’s like this instinct we all own, and some of us have found a way to hear that music and write it down and share it with people.
AuroraBut there’s so much kludge, so much terrible stuff, we are at the 1908 Hurley washing machine stage with the Internet. That’s where we are. We don’t get our hair caught in it, but that’s the level of primitiveness of where we are. We’re in 1908.
Jeff BezosWhat we want to do is make a leapfrog product that is way smarter than any mobile device has ever been, and super-easy to use. This is what iPhone is. OK? So, we’re going to reinvent the phone.
Steve JobsThe major advances in speed of communication and ability to interact took place more than a century ago. The shift from sailing ships to telegraph was far more radical than that from telephone to email!
Noam ChomskyNo one has any faith in the tape anymore – everyone just relies on computers and considers the hardrive to be the safest option, and I don’t. I think an analog tape is something you can hold.
Dave GrohlWoz is living his own life now. He hasn’t been around Apple for about five years. But what he did will go down in history.
Steve JobsMost people have no idea what something would sound like if it wasn’t an MP3.
Brian EnoFor the first time we’re allowing developers who don’t work at Facebook to develop applications just as if they were. That’s a big deal because it means that all developers have a new way of doing business if they choose to take advantage of it. There are whole companies that are forming whose only product is a Facebook Platform application.
Mark ZuckerbergCalifornia is not just the Golden State. We are also the Internet State.
Kamala HarrisComputers are still technology because we are still wrestling with it: it’s still being invented; we’re still trying to work out how it works. There’s a world of game interaction to come that you or I wouldn’t recognise. It’s time for the machines to disappear. The computer’s got to disappear into all of the things we use.
Douglas AdamsFlying cars are not a very efficient way to move things from one point to another.
Bill GatesThousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.
BuddhaThe key to making things affordable is design and technology improvements, as well as scale.
Elon MuskThe basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.
Brian EnoI think Tesla will most likely develop its own autopilot system for the car, as I think it should be camera-based, not Lidar-based. However, it is also possible that we do something jointly with Google.
Elon Musk
