Thing about Henry Ford is, he's dead. _Some_ people actually will be concerned with historical wrongdoing in their brands (remember the episode of Seinfeld where George's mother won't let his father buy a Mercedes, because it's German?) but people are far more likely to be concerned with bad _current_ behaviour. Ford's current CEO's wikipedia page is three paragraphs of very boring career details. That's the sort of wikipedia page you want for the CEO of a consumer products company, really.
Elon might be a fascist, but Henry Ford got a medal from Hitler and would complain about Jews when hobnobbing with Chuck Lindbergh. So shut up and buy a Tesla, amirite?
