Sort of the other way around. He published the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (a famous antisemitic book) in serialized form in his newspaper and Hitler admired him for capitalist reasons as well. He kept a photo of Henry Ford on his desk.

So I know three car companies that were/are heavily involved with nazis now. Great.

Oh he did. The original Model T had seats upholstered from the skins of Jewish orphans that Ford would personally strangle every morning.

Yeah. I hadn’t heard that, but it definitely scans with his whole vibe. That dude loved to be antisemitic. One of the best to ever play the game. Up there with the okhrana.
