Just as a matter of accuracy, the US government didn’t have to bail out Ford in 2008/09, at least not directly. They bailed out GM and Chrysler. Ford was an indirect beneficiary, though. If one of the other two collapsed, the supply chain hit would have dragged down Ford, too.
Mind you, Chrysler has been stumbling from one government bailout to the next for my entire life, and I ain’t that young anymore.
Ford wanted his employees to be able to buy the cars they make. Also, the US gov made money off of GM. Tesla is the one that has always been a leech propped up by taxpayers.

Oh ya I’m guessing the Ford family had enough money to not have to suck the blood from tax payers. But they get enough subsidies in counting it.

Ford also hated jews and black people. He’s not a person worth looking up to.
