Ark Invest's Cathie Wood is set to join Tesla Inc TSLA CEO Elon Musk on X Spaces later this week. Here's what you need to know ahead of the event.

What To Know: In a post on X Tuesday night, Wood announced that she is scheduled to chat with Musk this week on the X platform. The conversation will take place on X Spaces Thursday evening at 5 p.m. ET.  

Wood did note that the conversation will cover "everything from AI to space and beyond!" She also asked X users to reply to the post with questions for the pair.

AI has been arguably the biggest theme of 2023 and given Tesla's positioning in the space, it's no surprise that Wood and Musk plan to talk about it.

Last month, Wood argued that Tesla is actually the biggest AI player on the planet.

"Autonomous taxi platforms are the biggest AI project in the world, therefore we think Tesla is the biggest AI player," Wood said at the time. 

She also noted that as long as Ark's autonomous advantage thesis remains intact, Tesla will remain a top five holding in the ARK Innovation fund.

Wood also mentioned space as a potential topic of discussion this week. Based on early responses to Wood's post, other potential topics include full self-driving, global EV adoption, Cybertruck demand, timelines for a $25,000 electric vehicle, Musk's acquisition of X and crypto, specifically Bitcoin BTC/USD and blockchain technology.
