Elon Musk Reacts To Cathie Wood's Bold GDP Growth Prediction Due To Disruptive Innovation: 'Wow'
Portfolio Pulse from Benzinga Neuro
Elon Musk expressed astonishment at Cathie Wood's prediction of accelerated global GDP growth due to disruptive innovation. Wood, through ARK Invest, forecasts a jump in GDP growth rates from 3% to 6-8% over the next 15-20 years, driven by technologies like AI. Despite ARK Invest's focus on disruptive innovation, its flagship fund, ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), has underperformed compared to the S&P 500 since April 2022. Conversely, the AXS Short Innovation Daily ETF (SARK), which bets against disruptive innovation, tracks the performance of the AXS 2X Innovation ETF (TARK) inversely.
