Henry Ford also wrote a series of books titled "the international jew" in which he spew antisemitic shit and crazy conspiracy theories.
He had his own newspaper to publish anti-semitic ideology. High ranking German Nazis including Hitler considered him an inspiration.
Saying he was "just the Elon Musk of his time" falls on short on how fiercly Ford was anti-semitic, how he systematicall contributed to the ideological framework for anti-semitism and spread it among the Americans and the people in the world.
Perhaps he was more vocal, but not more hateful?
Most certainly not.
He was both a key actor internationally and in the US, to stir anti-semitism. The US was on a good trajectory to become fascist themselves too, if it wasn't for the war with Japan starting. The reluctance to intervene as well as to take jewish refugees.
Tens of thousands of the millions of jews that were killed by Nazi Germany could have been saved if the US didnt impose strict limits on immigration as the result of lacking public support.
And Elon Musk would probably be exactly the same if not that he would be totally cancelled today. Xitter (pronounced Shitter) is supposed to be his newspaper where he can trumpet his far-right BS, but we have the ability to push back now which didn’t exist in Henry Ford’s time.
