Except if Elon went deaf he'd never stop bitching and moaning about it.

He's worse. Edison never managed to steal Tesla's name.

When a Tesla gets stolen, do they call it an Edison?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 hours ago

The tagline for Edison motors is "Stealing Tesla's ideas"

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.

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.

Where is that large automobile?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 hours ago

These days I'd say Henry Ford, which Id argue is even worse.

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.
