Lucky for Mr. Ford the SEC didn't remove him as CEO.

1932 Henry Ford announces Ford will make 5,000 V-8 a DAY [GM was making 4,000 PER YEAR] for all our Fords. And Ford hadn't figured out to make one. It took break thru in technology and Ford first to "cast" complex V-8 casting and got 6 year lead on the industry.

Comparison/contrast with Elon Musk are of course unavoidable


Tesla R&D spending so small compared to rest of the Auto Industry. Amazing value per $ spent.
