Elon Musk (2015): I’m Not Here to Disrupt—I'm Here to Build a Good Future

Elon Musk, 10 years ago: My goal is not to be disruptive or to create companies, but to ensure we're on a path to a good future.

“What are the things that are important for civilization as we know it to have a good future? Those are the things that are of interest to me.

It's not creating companies or being disruptive; it's just making sure we are on a path to a good future.

I think I'll be focused on sustainable energy and on space for a long time, and on making sure that bad things don't happen on the AI front.”
