      Nikola Tesla. Edison was such an asshole. Tesla even wanted Electricity to be free for all.

      Also, he paid his outstanding hotel bill at the Waldorf with a box allegedly containing a death beam but was in actuality, harmless electronic parts.

      What an absolute genius chad.

          Totoo. I just wish Elon didn’t use Tesla’s name, or perhaps tinuloy na lang nya ung mga potential projects ni Tesla for posterity.

          Gusto ko gumawa ng Electric Company named Tesla and do a prometheus by bringing fire electricity for free to the world lmao.
