Not to mention it didn't help when Thomas Edison at the time fried an elephant to show the world how dangerous Nikola Tesla's AC currents were compared to Edison's DC current.

Yes, Edison was kinda a dick and stole so much from Tesla.

I have a funny comic idea where a lightbulb pops over Nikola's head and Edison takes that lightbulb and puts it over his head.

so did elon

Yeah, he didn't invent the lightbulb, he just figured out how to sell the lightbulb. He was a corrupt businessman, not a scientist.

I have a friend who is related to him

Nice. I have long ago relation that worked with George Washington
