I do NOT want to see Elon Musk become the Henry Ford of our time:

And what is wrong with Henry Ford?
He's still one of the greatest industrialists this world has ever seen. Most Americans were opposed to joining WW 2 to start off with. And rightfully so too,

He was Hitler fan boy.

And Ford also sympathized with Hitler’s ideas on eugenics. That’s what Linda was talking about, and in this instance he isn’t off base. Where I find fault is that I don’t think that Elon was serious about letting Russia keep its I’ll-gotten gains.

He was supposedly an antisemite.

He did realize that Ford also helped build factories in the Soviet Union?

Ford also had a oddly positive even supportive relationship with early Bolshevik Russia. He built several truck\car plants and during the Great Terror several of his engineers ended up in the Gulag. One (maybe others!) made it back to the US, he’s mentioned by Solzhenitsyn in the book Gulag Archipelago. There was also a movie call “From Out of the Ice” that told the story of a son of such Ford employee family that stayed.

Imagine if the US told Britain, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN, when they began to battle Germany in WW 1?

Answer is, an armistice, a retrenching of all parties and NO HITLER.

Henry Ford became a bit of a progressive investigating and interfering in the personal lives of his employees. He thought it was his job to make sure his employees were virtuous. That and his foundation has come to back many liberal causes.
