Thomas Edison stole many inventions, including the light bulb. Edison also murdered animals to advertise electricity.

So Edison stole the invention of the light bulb from a black man? Let me guess this is from an anonymous source?

He didn't advertise electricity. He was showing how dangerous Nicola Tesla's alternating current was.

He was attempting to show the public how dangerous A/C was, as a method of advertising D/C.

Good point! The sources are typically always anonymous.

Nah, Edison just stole it. Biden was wrong.

The outrage in Edison's name is feigned.

Edison didn’t steal it. He was working on it in parallel with other inventors. Including Tesla, Edison was using DC and his former employee Tesla was using AC. AC won and it didn’t change the invention of the light bulb or who invented it. It change how the electricity would or could be realistically distributed. Your gullible consumption of revisionism is not surprising. There is a valid question as to what Tesla May have “stolen” during his employment by Edison.

Yes. Edison stole it, but not from Tesla.

"In 1878, another British chemist, Joseph Swan, publicly demonstrated the first light based on commercially-viable carbon"

De LaRue and Swan made working prototypes but they burnt out quickly and were not practical. Edison perfected the design and made a viable product still in use.

A surprising source for a detailed history of the invention of the light bulb, and how Edison improved on the original design.

Does that mean he was born a poor black child, like Joe Biden said?

Or are you trying to change the subject?
