So, I get that Henry Ford was an awful raging antisemite, but calling the Ford F-150 a “swasticar” feels incredibly disingenuous.
Henry Ford had obviously descended into antisemitic conspiracy theories before issuing his first publications on the matter, but those publications first started in 1920, a year after handing over the Ford Motor Company to his son. By the time the original F series truck was introduced in 1948, Henry Ford had been dead for a year.
Compare this to Elon Musk actively being involved with the design and production of the Cyber truck and giving a Nazi salute (twice) on stage while actively trying to sell his dream truck.
Trying to call both the F-150 Lightning and the Cybertruck antisemitic feels like the equivalent of calling people protesting the genocide in Gaza antisemitic.
