Elon Musk: I Love Manufacturing—It’s the Heart of Tesla and SpaceX

Elon Musk: I'm a huge believer in manufacturing.

“Tesla is a massive manufacturer in the US. In fact, the biggest factory that's been built in recent years is the Tesla factory in Texas, and there's another big factory in Nevada.

I'm a huge believer in manufacturing. I love manufacturing. I like making things.

I've spent a lot of time in the factory, walking the floor. I literally lived in the factory for a while. We had some tough times at Tesla. It's really difficult to make any kind of manufacturing company work.

SpaceX is also a massive manufacturer. It's the biggest manufacturer of rockets and satellites in the world, and that's all in the US.”
