Ford was that eras Elon musk. Both are idiots being praised because they have money
Both idolized by Nazis of their times.
I think you’re on to something here
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.
I’m not sure “utopia” is the correct word for what this plan was about, at least not for anyone but Henry Ford.
Yeah, it was more like Jonestown but with more capitalism.
Hopefully less Flavor-Aid, too.
Flavor-Aid
I think your the first person I’ve ever seen online call it by the correct brand.
I can’t be the only who is grateful we didn’t end up with a Ford company town.
He did this in at least one other place: Alberta, Michigan
The town would be any colour as long as its black
The inhabitants on the other hand…

Industrial Utopia sounds like an oxymoron.
It’s a utopia for industrialists.
