at least Edison has a legacy worth mentioning
He’s worse. Edison never managed to steal Tesla’s name.
Nah just his work and credibility
If I see a headline that Elon is driving other companies’ cars into elephants to try to show how dangerous other cars are, I’ll have to check to see if it’s an onion article.
It probably won’t be.
When a Tesla gets stolen, do they call it an Edison?
The tagline for Edison motors is “Stealing Tesla’s ideas”
Except if Elon went deaf he’d never stop bitching and moaning about it.
So you’re saying he invented the electric car right? jk. Edison, probably would have creamed his pants for an opportunity to create a government position to eliminate his competitors.
Edison did abuse the government enforced patent system to eliminate his competitors.
Same as it ever was.
Where is that large automobile?
These days I’d say Henry Ford, which Id argue is even worse.
Remember when the ADL complimented him as ‘the Henry Ford of our day’, and then walked it back as organization members pointed out that side of Ford’s legacy and then he spent the next few years proving those folks extremely right?
More like P.T. Barnum
No, PT Barnum was at least entertaining. Sure, he just wanted to take your money, but he didn’t kill people in the process and you got a pretty reasonable value for paying admission.
