I generally agree with Elon Musk, but I disagree here. It is not so much that I think you learn more from failure or success itself. Rather I think you learn more when you think deeply about why something did or did not work/happen. In my experience, people usually stop to think deeply when they fail.
In addition, success usually means overcoming failure again and again especially for something hard like building a rocket. I suspect he is equating failure with quitting. I would certainly agree that you learn nothing from quitting, but failure is not necessarily quitting.
