Tesla should replace Edison in history books

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

[@galilalexandro4793]

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

[@getpriyanka]

Dear Tesla,

[@tusharrajput6192]

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

[@nanwu3650]

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

[@arthurmorgan7642]

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.

[@plushiesquad3735]

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

[@Ominus]

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

[@havesomecoffeeand6085]

I had never heard of Tesla in my schooling years; all I knew was Edison being the Jesus to Humanity.

[@hardik7090]

Tesla had almost 700 patents to his credit like the radar,the radio and many others.....

[@ihateexcessivelylongandpoi4490]

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

[@nikitadas9671]

Man, I always had massive respect for Tesla. He was so far ahead of his time!!!

[@claraaaaas]

What is taught in school vs what actually is. Tesla had 700 patents, but some people just stole them, claiming as their and this is how they got famous but we couldn't see behind the scenes that Tesla is the inventor of these! We will forever remember Nikola Tesla. He is one of the iconic men in history!

[@DZ4Prezident]

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

[@jusamaster212]

"I dont mind if they take my ideas

[@samarthmp5929]

Let's take a moment and appreciate George Westinghouse for believing in tesla👏👏👏

Never trust a business which is run by "self-proclaimed" genius.
