Edison was a patent-thief and anything attributed to his name should have an asterisk next to it. He gets credited with the lightbulb, but nobody talks about how he electrocuted dogs with Tesla’s alternating current to try to sway the industry to direct current. Imagine how crappy everything would be if everything were run off car batteries. Fuck that guy.
Hey now. Despite everything, Edison was an actual inventor and actually a self-made man. Musk doesn’t have shit on Edison.
