It's unlikely that I will step foot on the moon or Mars; I believe those missions will be accomplished by future generations of professional astronauts.

I might go to space, and I'm a bit terrified because less than a thousand people have gone to space, and many have died on the way up.

I want to create the best videos possible, and while money is a factor, it shouldn't compromise my creativity or the quality of my content.

I don't recommend devoting your entire life to creating videos; it's important to have a work-life balance.

I think it's a good exercise to create a video to be released if I die; it helps clarify what you really care about.

Starting a company can seem insane if the goal is to achieve the best risk-adjusted return, but that wasn't my objective when I founded SpaceX.

I don't see a world where my YouTube channels won't be relevant in the next couple of years; this is what I live for, and I want to keep expanding my businesses.

I fantasize about making a decade's worth of content and scheduling it to automatically go public after I die, creating a sense of digital immortality.

I've dedicated my whole life to building businesses and creating content, and I genuinely enjoy it without needing an escape.
