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.

An understanding of Henry Ford as a virulent anti-semite makes sense here as well.

"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.

Neither Musk nor Ford live up to the idealized/made up version of Henry Ford.

Also, 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.
