Love how my father in law’s legacy keeps growing which I think it not just due to the genius of the Moylan Arrow but the good vibes he brought to the world. It’s fitting my wife connected with Ford CEO Jim Farley at the Smithsonian, a place that celebrates genius and innovation.
Jim Farley@jimfarley98

I recently shared the story of Jim Moylan, the @Ford engineer who invented the gas tank arrow. By complete chance, I was lucky to meet his daughter, Liz, during a tour at the Smithsonian's @airandspace Museum where she works. When she told me who her father was, I was shocked – such a small world. Thank you for saying hi, Liz! Your dad was a genius and a perfect example of how sometimes simple ideas can have a big impact on people’s lives.

Some of these cutesy little passes for @umichhockey are annoying me. They should have easily had the zone cleared and instead coughed it up inside the blue line leading to a Penn State goal.

I think of Jim Moylan's invention every time I fill up my gas tank. Jim was a @Ford engineer who noticed an issue and was inspired to solve it to make our customers' daily lives easier. Nearly 40 years later and his innovative idea still helps millions of drivers every day!

@umichwbball Mila can’t get those unnecessary fouls especially on nights Tay can’t be trusted with the ball. That’s ok - big second half

“Society loves the founder who builds new companies, like Henry Ford,” Ford CEO Jim Farley told me. “I would argue that Jim Moylan is an equally compelling kind of disrupter: an engineer in a large company who insisted on making our daily lives better.” apple.news/ADfn5YH0BQ4-R1…

We are about to witness Ohio State fans pivot from “THE MICHIGAN GAME DOESN’T MATTER” to “AT LEAST WE BEAT MICHIGAN” in real time. I love that for them. 🤭
