Imagine Edison trying to patent the "hello" greeting to get royalties every time someone answered the phone.
Then the incel fanbois defending Edison, insisting he invented the term 'hello".

At this point I think there are more incel fanbois overhyping Tesla, still believing he really did have perpetual energy death rays invented by Ancient Egyptian aliens

Dude was brilliant, but he was also very, very crazy... and a name that comes up a lot when I'm on the "Spirit Science and Ancient Aliens are perfectly valid methods of self-education in comparison." side of Youtube

Not that I'm defending Edison mind you, every cent he ever gained was earned by Tesla.
