Soros connected to Ford?

Please tell me Ford isn't this dumb. Any word from Ford about this George Soros connection to Ford that Dan Bongino is talking about?

Howdy sgthawkusmc...and...others who might like to post here...please scroll to the top of this page...just below the BLUE header and read the words to the left of the title General Non Automotive Conversation.

Political discussion is limited to "The Club" which you are invited to join and partake in some rather spirited political discussions.

I'll let this ride for a brief time if you can somehow keep the politics to the side.

Thanks in advance for your anticipated cooperation.

Apologies Ken! Looked for the politics message, but didn't see it. I'm on my Android so that might be why.
I'm fine with keeping this apolitical and only factual. The post is an honest question.

That's what I was hoping...that you were legitimately curious.

I hadn't heard anything about a Soros/Ford connection...but...I wouldn't be surprised. Wealthy investors generally have their hands in many pies.

A quick search didn't find anyone reporting that other than Bongino.

That said, Soros has long held a significant amount of Ford stock, just like he does in a lot of major corporations. 10-15 years ago he held about 10% of Ford's stock. Don't know what his holding is today.

Thanks for the reply. Although significant, I'm not concerned about what he's holding in stock. I'm concerned with the thought Soros may be connected to Ford in other ways. ie Advising in some way and someone at Ford listening. Bongino isn't a conspiracy theorist without reason. That's why I'm questioning what other information might be available right now.

Understood. Bongino's background gives him access to information from places we can't even know exist.

It'll be interesting to see if Dan follows up on this or other media pick it up.
