    Henry Ford was always terrible, he just paid for a lot of good press

    It's why people don't really know that he disowned his son for standing for Worker's Rights and let him die from cancer without giving it a second thought

      Henry Ford was so racist that he was admired by Hitler. Like, Hitler actually had a portrait of Ford hanging in his office and even gave him a medal for racism.

        Henry Ford is literally the person who gave Hitler a copy of "Protocols of the Elders of Zion"

        Man was awarded a fucking medal by Hitler

      And Elon has always been terrible. His response to Vivian Musk transitioning was something along the lines of "can't win them all"

    the first production line to make Ford cars had ~150 individual jobs. In the first year, over 900 different people had worked one of those jobs and quit.
