this is why i hate when people compare him to Henry Ford, for all his flaws Henry was at his heart an engineer

Musk has more in common with Al Sloan the man who built GM by buying up smaller auto companies and even then that's not fair to Sloan

Pretty sure they compare Mush to Henry Ford for completely different reasons.

While i didn't go into detail i'm well aware of Ford's history, as i'm a Detroit based historian
