While discussing how to reduce the cost of building vehicles. . .

Musk:

“We’re trying to be very rigorous about improving the quality and capability of the car because it’s like any fool can reduce the cost of a car by making it worse and just deleting functionality and capability and that’s how I call this sort of any fool like—if you want to like lose weight and you said, ‘Well, I need to lose over 15 pounds right away,’ well, you could chop your arm off, but then you’re sitting with one arm.

“You know, you’re still fat.

“So, sort of like, yes, you actually have to eat less food and work out. That’s the actual way. And doctor’s advice. Yeah.

“It’s not super fun because food is delicious. And personaly, I’m not–I don’t love working out. I know I say I do. I wish I did, but I don’t.

“Unless moving the mouse consists of working out. In which case, I love moving the mouse.”
