Tesla, Edison was a very successful capitalist but not an inventor himself. People will say the modern lightbulb but that was patented by his company not invented by him.
My favorite is the story of Edison calling Tesla out to fix iirc generators of Westinghouse design. Tesla then fixed it and was never paid because like Trump Edison often refused to pay debts.
Ed: you can downvote but it will still be just as true with our without.
My favorite (actually true) story was that Edison possibly had a French inventor disappeared on a train. The man had been hard at work and created a supposedly superior prototype movie projector that would surpass Edison’s fledgling efforts. He was on that train, with his machine, to attempt to gain capital from investors and commercialize the product. He and the machine were never seen again.
Probably wouldn’t have happened if good Edison had still been around…
Also, Edison is just Elon Musk. Possibly reincarnated by use of a Lazarus machine.
It was done with young Tom Edison’s steam-powered time machine.
Sadly the machine was destroyed during the battle of wizards at Menlo Park. That’s how we ended up with evil Edison taking control in this timeline.
