Summary
Cathie Wood is betting big on SpaceX, pouring over $529 million into the company as part of her bold strategy to ride the wave of disruptive tech like AI and robotics. Despite recent turbulence in her flagship Ark Innovation ETF — which underperformed the S&P 500 this year and saw investor outflows — Wood remains convinced that innovation, especially in AI, is fueling a “great acceleration” that could defy downturns. Her track record includes early bets on Coinbase and CoreWeave, and she’s been a SpaceX supporter since late 2023, crediting Musk’s resilience for driving innovation. With eyes on potential interest rate cuts, Wood’s high-stakes approach continues to chase outsized returns — even if it means weathering volatility.
