      Tesla's name is rather ironic (yeah yeah I know Musk bought the company wtvr) given Elon's similarities to Edison.

        I think in an old interviews he goes out and says that he prefers Edison over Tesla, because Edison capitalized on the inventions while the latter is just a scientist who invents stuff.

    I know Edison was a scumbag who didn't actually invent the lightbulb (just made a more efficient lightbulb and marketed it well), but what about the phonograph and motion picture projector? I know the French inventor Edouard Leon Scott invented a machine that made sound recordings, but he never had any intention of playing them back.

      Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince (28 August 1841 – vanished 16 September 1890) was a French artist and the inventor of an early motion picture camera, possibly the first person to shoot a moving picture sequence using a single lens camera and a strip of (paper) film. Le Prince was never able to perform a planned public demonstration in the US because he mysteriously vanished; he was last known to be boarding a train on 16 September 1890. The reason for his disappearance is not known and his family and supporters invented a series of conspiracy theories, including: a murder set up by Edison... 👀

      If you think Edison is bad, wait until some fuckass travels back in time to meet his hero Elon Musk
