The Quote
Tesla and robotaxis "are about to take off." The largest AI revenue opportunity, in embodied AI, "is going to be in transportation."
Bloomberg TV, David Ingles · May 20, 2026The Action
ARK bought Tesla on May 18 (two days before the interview), again in early July (~$38M), and 160,151 shares (~$60M) on July 23 into the post-earnings selloff, across four ETFs.

None. Words and money point the same direction, repeatedly, for three months.
The Read
This is what alignment looks like, and it is worth publishing precisely because it is boring. When someone's filings match their rhetoric across a whole summer, including buying into a selloff, which costs real money, the talk isn't marketing. It is the position.
Receipts like this one are the baseline that makes a future divergence mean something: you can't spot the gap without first establishing what closed looks like. File it and remember it. It is the yardstick for the day her words and ARK's Tesla flows split.
