Oh there’s a lot more to it than I’m going to briefly link
to for those curious enough to follow breadcrumbs
Another Ford misadventure for the savvy: when he bought 2.5million acres in Brazil to make a rubber plantation factory town, but quickly turned into a disaster. They built suburban homes in a jungle to house local workers while trying to get his American managers to enforce diets on them.
Not to mention he spread rumors he was leaving the company to tank its value to then buy out the Dodge Bros for pennies on the dollar.
I just finished the docuseries lol

I guess these ideas seemed good at the time…?lol
Ford was insane. He blamed everything on Jews.
