WHO IS THE MODERN DAY HENRY FORD?
The top 3 candidates living up to the industrial legend today
Mass production. The assembly line. The Model T.
We’re talking about industrialist extraordinaire, Henry Ford. He revolutionized industry, has his own ‘-ism’ (Fordism) and is an icon of manufacturing.
So who today is living up to the standard set by Mr. Ford himself? Here are our Top 3 candidates for today’s Henry Ford:
3.) Jeff Bezos, Amazon
Ford didn’t invent the wheel – neither did Jeff Bezos. He helped to create an industry around a concept that already existed.
2.) Bill Gates, Microsoft
A modern mogul, he helped to build an industry standard for consumers as well as the industry standard for philanthropy.
1.) Elon Musk, Tesla, Paypal, SpaceX
Among many accomplishments, the greatest parallel lies in their automobile affiliation. Musk wants to make electric cars accessible, just as Ford wanted to make cars accessible, period.
