The old Henry Ford car-magnate-to-antisemite pipeline.
I don't buy a lot of what you say - he employs people to do the work, he's just a money man and always has been - even his e-banking company was bought by PayPal because of connections it had rather than any technologies they wanted - but I agree that he has gone off the rails in recent years, seems to be correlated with his wealth. There is the possibility that he is acting up because he has seen his wealth grow and feels that his power and influence should grow commensurately. This is a phenomenon that is recognised in societies with widening inequality, as they produce elites in excess of the political positions available for them.
