Elon Musk: You Can Hate Me, But SpaceX and Tesla Still Win

Elon Musk: SpaceX makes the most reliable rockets and Tesla makes the best cars. You can hate my guts, it is irrelevant.

“If you want satellites sent to orbit reliably, SpaceX will do 80% of all mass to orbit this year. China will do 12%. The rest of the world will do 8%. That includes Boeing, Lockheed, and everyone else. So, the track record of the rocket is the best by far of anything. You could hate my guts, you could not trust me, it is irrelevant.

With respect to Tesla, we make the best cars. Whether you hate me, like me or are indifferent. Do you want the best car, or do you not want the best car?”
