Summary
Parallels between Henry Ford and Elon Musk illustrate their transformative roles in automaking alongside troubling political affiliations.
Ford’s antisemitism and support for Nazi Germany mirror Musk’s current opposition to unions and endorsement of Germany’s far-right AfD party, which is linked to neo-Nazism.
Musk’s intervention in Germany’s election and promotion of far-right figures on X echoes Ford’s use of media to propagate hate.
Both industrialists are criticized for their social and political impact beyond their industries, with Musk’s actions raising alarm about democracy and labor rights.
They do, but the dumb part is believing it a single ethnicity, rather than a single social class.
That social class is not a small group.
Its millions of people, most of which who have no loyalty and will happily sabotage others in the ruling class to make an extra buck.
Millions of people out of 8 billion is a small group…
Millions of people is never a small group.
Yeah, 0.06% of the population is huge!
This is with 5 million out of 8 billion.
Sure is! Get 5 million people in a room and try to get them to agree how they’d like to control the world.
How many Jews are there in this world?
