    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.

      Topsy was electrocuted at the request of the ASPCA because they deemed it more humane than just giving her a bunch of cyanide and hanging her.

      Edison Studios, which has about as much relation to the man as Tesla Motors Inc. does their namesake, filmed the event.

      The War of the Currents was a decade previous and between Edison and Westinghouse.

      Edison and Tesla wrote each other friendly letters and spoke well of each other in public.

      Tesla has such a weird reputation. Entertainment is not history.
