      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.

    I can’t be the only who is grateful we didn’t end up with a Ford company town.

    Industrial Utopia sounds like an oxymoron.
