I just finished reading "For Profit" and really enjoyed the Ford chapter. It was the Michigan Supreme Court that first tuned him up, reminding him that capitalism works for shareholders, he's not Leonardo effing Da Vinci.
Uncanny parallel. Unfortunately nowadays he can do more damage with Twitter than Ford could with the local newspaper. Fortunately it seems he's been doing more damage to himself lately... But we shouldn't forget that money often begets money in our system... The rich fail up.
I can only assume you are making allusions to Al Gore or Michael Bloomberg.
Elon Musk is not the name that springs to my mind.
Bill Gates - a computer scientist - has suddenly become an expert on everything.
sadly few facts from a historian - would have been very curious though
hope you are not intending what you write here about - leaving the craftmanship for political agendas;)
Fantastic piece!
