The provided text, “ARK Investing looks like a Total Fake” by Miles Mathis, argues that ARK Investing, led by Cathie Wood, is a fraudulent entity used by “Financial Intelligence” to inflate the perceived profitability of companies and technologies like Tesla, Bitcoin, AI, and DNA sequencing. The author claims that Elon Musk and ARK are being used to create a facade of success, drawing investors’ money and influencing Congress to fund what the author deems “fake research.” Mathis asserts that SpaceX and Tesla are not profitable and are heavily reliant on federal subsidies, suggesting that taxpayers are unknowingly funding these ventures.
Mathis traces Cathie Wood’s background to Alliance Bernstein, owned by AXA, and notes Alliance Bernstein’s investment in cobalt from the Democratic Republic of Congo for electric car batteries. He posits that this connects ARK to the conflict between “Big Oil” and “Car Batteries,” citing falling oil prices as evidence. The author further suggests that ARK was founded to invest in “disruptive innovation” as a form of “Operation Rolling Stone,” pitting new money against old money, though he argues this “new money,” exemplified by Musk, Zuckerberg, and Jobs, is largely fictional.
The text points out that electric cars still represent a small fraction of the market, and Toyota leads in this sector, implying ARK and Tesla can only compete with “Big Oil” through propaganda backed by powerful families. The author speculates that Resolute Investments has taken over ARK, with Gene Needles as CEO, and suggests Needles might be a front for more prominent families like the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, or Vanderbilts.
Further genealogical research connects Cathie Wood to various families and individuals, including Robert Remington Wood, who worked for Rolling Stone, Financial World, McGrawHill, and Wells Fargo. This is linked to the Duddy family, including Christopher Duddy, a film producer, and Carrie Fisher, whose grandfather was a Tisch. This connection leads to Loews Corporation, CBS, and industries like oil and gas. The text also connects Robert Remington Wood to the Whitney family, linking them to the Pillsburys, Paynes, Billings, Kimballs, and Vanderbilts. Mathis concludes by suggesting that these “old money” families are involved with the “new money” and are behind Bitcoin and the manipulation of media narratives.
