Well. the Wikipedia article on Henry Ford has a whole section entitled "Antisemitism" which starts "Ford was a conspiracy theorist" and details Nazi links.

So, what else is new in the world of Car Company tycoons?

I'll also be open to rethinking purchasing a Tesla once Musk has been dead for 75 years.

See, the critical thing is, Henry Ford is, thankfully, very, very dead. Ford, the modern company, is not run by a 150 year old zombie bigot. It's a very different situation.

Yes, and as the other commenter noted, 75 years after Henry Ford's death, Ford's image is mostly rehabilitated. Mostly. People who avoid Ford vehicles for this reason (rather than avoiding the vehicles on their own merits) are rare but they do exist.

Perhaps 50 or more years after the end of Tesla's iconic leader, the same rehabilitation will happen to Tesla.
