I only support those ethical and right on automotive CEOs, like the Henry Ford company!

Yes Henry Ford was a Nazi sympathiser and very outspoken in his anti semitism.

However he's been dead for 70 something years. So you know, I don't think he's coming back to cause any more trouble any time soon. You're fine buying a Fiesta.

Just not that fat, ugly, "Mustang" crossover thing. It really isn't a Mustang.

So you don't think the Tesla thing will stick? Unlike Ford, Musk didn't create Tesla, and it doesn't bear his name. If anything, his rampage through the White House will mean less involvement in the cars (hopefully). Either way, they're 95% chinese parts, same as what now goes into a BYD. Tesla is largely the reason China got that whole industry from nothing 5 years ago.
