Why did Ford hire Ken?
He kept insulting them and didn't bring anything to the company, he was rude to everyone, including his own clients when he owned a workshop, how did this man have a career?

Duhh!
In the first scene he appears, he insults a client who wants his car fixed. He then sexually harasses a woman who comes to visit his shop.
Then he is at a race and starts to threaten an official who disqualifies him. Shelby jumps to his defense, and instead of being grateful he throws a wrench at him. He is somehow allowed in the race and harasses other drivers. For some reason, Shelby sticks around.
When Ford enters the racing business Shelby goes to recruit Ken but is mocked and laughed at. Ken then goes to a Ford event, he insults a Ford executive and a newly launched Ford car. He rudely leaves during the middle of a speech given by Shelby.
Shelby seems obsessed with Ken, comes and visits him in the middle of the night and takes him to see the new Ford GT40. Ken criticizes and denigrates the car.
Can someone explain how this obnoxious, failure of a man ended up having a successful career?

That was his fucking wife! SJW jesus.
Watch it again.
The guy helped build the car that got them there and won the triple crown, were it not for the stupid Ford publicity stunt. Put America on the racing map.
Movies would be boring if everyone were polite all the time and everything went right. People weren't as sensitive back then and spoke their mind. How true to life any of the personality was, I don't know. Maybe Ford just wanted a pretty face or someone who would always shoot roses out their ass on camera.
You dont need to have good people skills to have good driving skills. In fact if you look at history most top performers in variuos fields tend to not have good social skills because their focus is somewhere else.
