Henry Ford

American industrialist, business magnate, founder of the Ford Motor Company, and chief developer of the assembly line technique of mass production. By creating the first automobile that middle-class Americans could afford, he converted the automobile from an expensive curiosity into an accessible conveyance that profoundly impacted the landscape of the 20th century.

Also a conspiracy theorist, eugenicist and antisemite, as made clear in his publication of his own writings in 'The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem'.
