Elon Musk: “Anyone who wants to make more than they take has my respect”

Elon is asked for his advice for entrepreneurs, to which he responds:

“I’m a big fan of anyone who wants to build. Anyone who wants to make more than they take has my respect. That’s the main thing you should aim for: to make more than you take and be a net contributor to society.”

He compares it to the pursuit of happiness:

“If you want to create something valuable financially, you don’t pursue that. It’s best to pursue providing useful products and services. If you do that, money will come as a natural consequence of that rather than pursuing money directly. You can’t pursue happiness directly. You pursue things that lead to happiness — fulfilling work, study, friends, loved ones.”

Elon continues:

“It sounds very obvious, but generally if somebody is trying to make a company work, they should expect to grind super hard and accept that there’s a meaningful chance of failure. Then just focus on having the output be worth more than the input. Are you a value creator? That’s what really matters: making more than you take.”

@mrsinha This is the level of discourse in parliament!! Equally poor show by PM.

@theskindoctor13 This is surely a fake story! Good acting though.

@TimesAlgebraIND Most pathetic answer from @Sanju_Verma_ !! It is a perfect example of "Whataboutery". Just to ensure that you don't take it otherwise, Rajdeep is not my favorite journo.

@Apple I have been defrauded by one impersonator in purchasing Apple Store Code and sharing with him/her. When connected with Apple support to share the name of impersonator, they are simply refusing to reveal in the garb of privacy #Apple #cybercrime #scammed #ScamAlert

@Parody_acounts Such a PR disaster of Rs 1259 Cr!! This video will haunt this family and specifically this lady forever.

@airvistara @sushilkedia Can’t you get it on your own with details provided in original tweet? Avoid showing concern when you actually don’t have any.
