He was never an innovative car maker, he’s never made a car in his life. He just had money.
Very weak article, giving him credit as a free speech absolutist. Is he really, or does he ban people that attack him? Alludes to us having self-driving due to his innovations. Really? Other automakers seem neck and neck with him, with Mercedes having passed a major milestone before him, quite recently.
Does he really have hyperloops to dream up and Mars colonies to plan, or is that just marketing drivel to appeal to certain types?
This is almost fanboying in disguise. If you simply read it through the lens of being pro-racism, it’s suddenly a praise piece.
edit: Oh, and it doesn’t even try to answer the question it asks in its own headline.
Tire dust destroys the brain.
Considering he comes from apartheid mining wealth, I bet he’s been racist the whole time
Hey, Ford might have been a Nazi sympathizer, but he knew how to make an engine in his kitchen and what people wanted in a car.
Ford
might have beenwas a NazisympathizerFTFY.
It’s a turn of phrase. No one’s denying what Ford was.
I like the shock and aw factor trying to be ilicited here… forgetting where the dude is from and how his family made their money… a tiger doesn’t change its stripes.
Ford was an innovative car maker, Musk bought an innovative car maker. They are not the same.
Ford was also racist though, so that connection is still valid.
