School : *Edison was genius*
After growing up : *Tesla was the real genius*

[tusharrajput]

Nikola Tesla also turned down the Nobel prize & had plans to provide free electricity to all.

" I don't care that they stole my idea, I care that they don't have any of their own." -Nikola Tesla

I hate my school district. They don’t teach us about Tesla. They say that “Thomas Alva Edison is the best”
Tesla was the best in my opinion

[hardik]

Tesla had almost 700 patents to his credit like the radar, the radio and many
He deserves to be remembered in history as one of the most brilliant scientists the world has ever seen....

[veteransforequality]

Tesla should replace Edison in history books

[getpriyanka]

*Dear Tesla, *

*We are sorry*

*Sincerely, *
*All of humanity*

[DZPrezident]

So happy Tesla is now getting the recognition he always deserved.

"I dont mind if they take my ideas
But i mind because they dont have their own" - Tesla

Its ridiculous how here in the usa, they never tought us about Tesla. I didnt know who he was untill my electrical engineering in college. But they sure shoved edison down our throats since elementary school.

[nanwu]

This changed my view about Eddison completely and I'm worried about all the other stuff I have learned in school

[plushiesquad]

All Tesla wanted was for everyone to have access to free electricity

[ihateexcessivelylongandpoi]

If you are driving a Telsla and it gets stolen, is it now called an "Edison"?

[arthurmorgan]

Edison isn't an inventor, he's just a "guy" who made variants of things that have already been invented and just pattoned them for himself.

[GeorgeCowsert]

Edison didn't steal from Tesla; he stole him from mankind.

[aronstone]

If you love tesla.. like here.. !!
God of electricity..!!

[crowofcainhurst]

I used to shrug my teacher when he said Edison was an asshole. Well, old man was right all along.

[Ominus]

Let's just be honest we could literally be with flying cars rn if Thomas Edison never existed...

[IblewuponyourfaceIII]

Reporter: How does it feel to be the Smartest Man in the World?

Albert Einstein: I don’t know, ask Tesla.

[TexasBrrr]

All schools named Edison should be changed to Tesla !!
