Katie Wood Tesla said in a five-part interview this week that Apple will take the lion’s share of the industry’s profits, that new technologies will reshape the entire industry and that traditional financial experts will not appreciate bitcoin and other currencies.
The CEO of Ark Investment also lamented the recent crackdown on DD and other Chinese technology companies, arguing that long-term technological investments may be worth more than profits today, and advising employees to change jobs if their quality is not known.
Here are some of Wood’s 10 best quotes from the interview, slightly edited and added for comparison –

4. “There is a great deal of incompetence in the research behind it and Tesla’s investment, so for now our target price is approximately $ 3,000. People think that is a crazy number. Now, the stock is close to $ 700. We believe that the main reason for this success is the short-term analysts who followed him. Analysts do not understand the full potential of the Elon Musk clean-energy company.
5. “Before Apple introduced Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola, it was really a computer. Intel and Qualcomm had their own chips because they go with audio players, and Apple was nowhere to be found, right? The price has gone down, but the price has gone up.
6. “They’re better-performing cars. They please the consumer. That’s the way Apple wins. That’s the way Tesla wins.” – Indicating the quality and performance of Tesla cars gives it an edge over its competitors.

9. “The way China works is very defensive, disgusting to the rest of the world, and probably not to please its own people. There is a slight stumbling block here.

I don’t think they encourage entrepreneurship in this way. – Chinese regulators comment on recent actions against DD and other domestic technology companies.
10. “People in the old, traditional world of financial services, they don’t think of bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a lost layer of the Internet. The Internet has never been conceived in business. That’s really it.”
