Why am I not surprised that this is bullshit.
On the one hand, I think it's great that Tesla gets a lot of props these days. But I think it's absolutely tragic that so many people feel like they have to pull someone else down.
Yeah, they didn't get along and Edison kinda screwed Tesla. That was sort of par for the course in business back then (and today, if we are being honest).
But no, it's never enough to point out somewhere that Edison was wrong. Now he has to be the devil from Jersey.
