Elon Musk: Without Truth, We Live in a Deluded World

Elon Musk: If you're not rigorous about the truth, you'll live in a deluded world.

“The reason I believe in truth and honesty is because I'm trying to understand the universe. I'm trying to understand reality, trying to understand what's the meaning of life, what are we here for, what's going on?

If you don't aspire to truth, if you're not rigorous about truth and honesty, then you're obviously going to live in a deluded world. You won't understand the nature of reality. So, I'm just curious, and I want to understand the nature of reality. So that requires rigorous adherence to the truth.”
