      I don’t know. Ford was a lot of shitty things. But he was also an actual innovator, not just an investor who thought he was an innovator.

      And as egocentric as he was, he still saw the value in providing free healthcare, food, reasonable hours, and good wages to workers.

      He was a collosal asshole but I don’t think it’s fair to compare him to Musk.
