Henry Ford

Henry Ford was an American engineer and businessman whose impact on 20th century transportation and industry was profound. In 1903, he founded the Ford Motor Company, ownership of which would eventually result in Ford becoming one of the richest and most well-known people in the world. In 1908, he introduced the Ford Model T, the first motor car which many middle-class Americans could afford. Consequently, the car changed from being a plaything for the very wealthy to a practical mode of transport. Although he did not invent it, Ford popularized assembly line manufacturing. He introduced a franchise system that allowed Ford dealerships to open around the world.
Ford was also a virulent antisemite, as evidenced by his publication of a series of four pamphlets which reprinted stories that had previously appeared in Ford's newspaper in the early 1920s.
==Ford and the Nazis==
Although Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf was not inclined to share the spotlight with other people, especially living, non-German ones, he did at one point single out Henry Ford as a person who still holds out independently against the International Jewish conspiracy. The use of the word "independent" was no doubt a reference to the Dearborn Independent, Ford's racist rag from which some of Hitler's reflections were copied.Hitler, Adolf, Mein Kampf, Reynal & Hitchcock, New York, 1940, pp. 929 - 930 Hitler also used sections of Ford's book, The International Jew (earlier circulated by the Nazis, and translated by them into a dozen languages), verbatim in writing Mein Kampf.Sward, Keith.

Being a member of a secretive society and a conspiracy theorist at the same time is a thing to behold.
In 1928, concerned about widespread bad publicity about himself, Ford issued a non-apology apology. The apology was a letter that he signed but did not write. The letter was instead written by a prominent Jewish lawyer. In the letter, Ford promised to retract "so far as lies within my power the offensive charges laid at their door by these publications, and by giving them the unqualified assurance that henceforth they may look to me for friendship and goodwill."Statement by Henry Ford to Louis Marshall The American Jewish Year Book 29383-389 (via JSTOR). Ford also cast blame on his subordinates at The Dearborn Independent even though they were repeating his beliefs and he had complete control of the newspaper. Contrary to his promise, Ford did not try to recall all copies of his book, The International Jew.Long before Elon Musk, Henry Ford went to war with Jewish groups by Shera Avi-Yonah (November 5, 2023 at 7:00 a.m. EST) The Washington Post.
