There’s a story that Henry Ford showed Union leaders round his most modern factory and, in trying to intimidate them, suggested one day all cars would be made by machines. One Union leader remarked: ‘you can’t sell cars to machines.’

In chaotic Washington blitz, Elon Musk’s ultimate goal becomes clear
Shrink government, control data and — according to one official closely watching the billionaire’s DOGE — replace “the human workforce with machines.”
