Elon Musk: Creating a successful company is pretty straightforward.
“The ability to attract and motivate great people is critical to the success of a company, because a company is just a group of people that are assembled to create a product or service. That's the purpose of a company. People sometimes forget this elementary truth.
And so, if you're able to get great people to join the company and work together towards a common goal and sort of have a relentless sense of perfection about that goal, then you will end up with a great product.
And if you have a great product, lots of people will buy it, and then the company will be successful. Really, it's pretty straightforward.”
