“Elon Musk: Say what you want about him but I believe he is a true genius on a par with E——n Nikola Tesla.”
I’m glad you corrected that.
Edison was a plodder and a thief. Most of the 2000 patents in his name were actually the work of others. He funded the work and when it was time for a patent only Edison’s name was on the patent.
Edison wanted to go with Direct Current which would have required a generation station every few blocks.
He also did everything he could to kill Tesla’s AC. He even had an elephant killed by AC to show it was dangerous.
If I were emperor the name Edison would be a footnote in history and everyone would know about Tesla.
