ELON CLIPS(@ElonClipsX):Elon Musk back in 2017: “I intend to stay with Tesla as far into the future as I can imagine.” “I think almost every automaker has some electric vehicle program. They vary in seriousness. Some are very serious about transitioning entirely to electric, and some are just dabbling in it. And some, amazingly, are still pursuing fuel cells. But I think that won't last much longer.” Chris Anderson: “But isn't there a sense, though, Elon, where you could now just declare victory and say, ‘We did it, let the world electrify,’ and you go on and focus on other stuff?” Elon: “I intend to stay with Tesla as far into the future as I can imagine.” Source: TED Interview, April 28, 2017. @TEDchris
