The ARK Invest CEO, Cathy Wood, one of Tesla's biggest bulls, the EV maker, the top holding in her flagship ARK Innovation ETF, has this to say. I do not understand why investors are voting against Elon's pay package when they and their clients would benefit enormously if he and his incredible team meet such high goals. Cathy joins us now for more.

93.124 - 99.09 Cathy Wood

Cathy, thanks for making some time for us this morning. Good morning to you all. Do you think, Cathy, the incentives are well aligned?

100.471 - 133.045 Unknown

Yes, we do. I do not believe any company anywhere near this size has ever delivered a compound annual rate of growth for EBITDA, which is a bottom line number of 41% over 10 years. No company has done that. So yes, indeed, the incentives are aligned. If he and his team are able to deliver on that number, the stock is going to outperform enormously.

133.646 - 163.992 Unknown

Cathy, if by chance this proposal is rejected, would you consider shedding some of your Tesla position? So I'm happy that the prediction markets are at 90 to 95 percent in terms of this is going through. So we don't have to think about that. Clearly, if Elon left, we think about it in two ways. One, we think robo taxis. He has them at the starting gate as of June.

and now they're rolling out, and that AI project is well underway. If he had left five years ago, three years ago, it probably wouldn't be anywhere near where it is. What we now think, though, is in order to capitalize on humanoid robots, which that's a much more difficult project, that, yes, Elon's brilliance and the team he has attracted...

Chapter 2: What are the highlights of Elon Musk's pay package controversy?

So our analysts are organized by technology and we think there's a huge inefficiency there.

Hello, I'm Joel Weber. And I'm Eric Balchunas. We're the hosts of the Trillions podcast from Bloomberg, a deep dive into all things ETFs and investing. Eric, what's so amazing about ETFs? It's never a dull moment.

They track everything under the sun. Four new ETFs launch a day and they take in $4 billion every day. So it's where all the money's flowing to and a lot of the innovation is happening. I call it the Silicon Valley of the investing world.

As you can hear, Eric's passionate about them. My role is to try and keep him in check and make all of this a little bit more understandable for the rest of us. Not always easy, but always worth a listen. So listen to Trillions on Apple, Spotify, or wherever else you get your podcasts.
