    Ford pioneered the entire automotive industry and was a leader for many generations.  Ford is old news now, but if you look at the context of that time Henry Ford was Musk++

    Henry Ford built up his company with his two hands, he revolutionized the way cars were made, he changed the automotive game forever. Elon Musk needed a little push from the government and a whole lot of cash to create a Prius minus the gas part with an I Pad in the dashboard.

    Tesla.

    Ford created a whole new genre of transportation and the manufacture thereof, Musk mainly updated the propulsion of said technology.  And don't get me wrong, I truly respect Musk and hope he succeeds.  But part of the reason he is making it is a tremendous amount of wealth which is helping bridge the gap until it's a fully profitable industry.  Ford started from scratch.  If Ford had so much financing he could go a decade losing money and still make it then he may have accomplished far more in a far shorter time just like Musk is.

    I think they are comparable to each other; they simply live in different times and focus on technologies most relevant at their time. 

    That said, Ford seems to have been more of a successful businessman who simply streamlined the automobile production, while Musk is the one actually investing in development of cutting edge technology. That said, Ford's efforts probably have a much longer-term effect, while Musk's technology may either take off and revolutionize the mainstream market, or be abandoned and forgotten eventually as a "nice try" project, such as Google Glass. Remains to be seen.

    Ford. End of discussion.
  • one cannot overlook Elon Musk's undeniable impact on the automotive and technology industries. Musk has proven himself as a visionary entrepreneur, pushing the boundaries of innovation with companies like Tesla, SpaceX, and Neuralink. His pioneering work in electric vehicles has redefined the automotive landscape, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and environmental consciousness. Musk's approach is characterized by a relentless pursuit of futuristic technologies, such as the development of reusable rocket systems and ambitious plans for interplanetary colonization. His willingness to challenge conventional wisdom and take on audacious projects sets him apart in the contemporary business landscape. Elon Musk's contributions to cutting-edge technology and sustainable transportation make a compelling case for his significance in the ongoing debate with Henry Ford.
