Tesla vs Edison: whose current powers the future?
NIKOLA TESLA vs THOMAS EDISON go head to head — and every jab is rooted in real history.
My alternating current crosses continents on a whisper of wire, while your direct current gasps out after a single mile.
Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration, and I built power stations while you built dreams no banker would fund.
You bought patents, staged spectacles, and called the theft invention; I gave the world its future and asked for wonder in return.
Wonder does not keep the lights on, Nikola, and history remembers the man who ships the lamp, not the man who imagines the lightning.
