About this quote
Attributed to remarks at a Tesla shareholder meeting. Musk was defending the pace of change at Tesla and SpaceX against critics who argued that the companies were moving too fast and taking unnecessary risks. His formulation presents the choice as asymmetric: the costs of moving slowly in the face of existential problems — climate change, single-planet civilization — outweigh the disruption caused by rapid change.
