I think the Henry Ford comparison is not an inapt one, but you need to have a certain understanding of Henry Ford as the guy who bought and published The Dearborn Independent for the comparison to make sense.
- bee_rider 4y agoNeither Musk nor Ford live up to the idealized/made up version of Henry Ford.
- jakelazaroff 4y agoAn understanding of Henry Ford as a virulent anti-semite makes sense here as well.
- jtode 4y ago"Anti-semite" and "Publisher of the Dearborn Independent" are synonyms in this case; it's the paper he acquired and then used as his nazi bullhorn. I was just being subtle lol edit: Ford's Twitter, if you will.
- jakelazaroff 4y agoWhoops, I should have known that!
- akuchling 4y agoAlso, Ford was once asked under oath what year the American Revolution was, and wasn't sure but thought it was 1812. He didn't have much book learning.
