Ben Franklin would look a little bit more jealous.
“Why didn’t I think of that!”
You really think a key is the only thing he tied to that string?
I am pretty sure Ben Franklin would be totally into that shit.
Tesla would’ve loved that shit wym
And Franklin was a sex freak.
Didn’t they literally have a contest to see if it was easier to kill some with DC or AC?
That was Edison and Tesla, Franklin was long dead by then. Also it was pretty one sided, Tesla wasn’t the one doing stage shows out of killing circus elephants.
Oh I misread the meme for some reason or my brain just autofilled tesla lmao. Yeah and thanks to their rivalry we were gifted with the electric chair, one of the worst and most unreliable ways of executing someone
That’s a win for the justice system as their goal is to be as cruel as possible
Absolutely, I’d Epstein myself before going out like that
Tesla to Edison: “Im over here inventing electricity, and you’re just being an asshole!”
that was Edison and Tesla
It was actually Edison and Westinghouse. Tesla and Edison having beef with eachother is a complete myth. Edison never wrote about Tesla at all and had a gigantic beef against Westinghouse. Tesla was actually a fairly minor player whose only real contribution was his invention of the multiphase motor that he licensed to Westinghouse. Not only that but another guy by the name of Galileo Ferraris independently made the exact same discovery around the same time as Tesla. Meaning Tesla’s contribution to AC electricity wasn’t even strictly necessary.
After that invention Tesla did practically nothing at all of consequence other than grifting Charles Schwaab out of a bunch of money and falling madly in love with a pigeon.
Tesla also never really had anything negative to say about Edison at all. In fact he actually briefly worked for his company. He ended up quitting when the manager he worked under reneged on a deal they made to give tesla $300 for a task the guy didn’t think Tesla would be able to do. When Tesla actually did it the guy said he was only joking about the $300. Tesla got super pissed and quit.
Not to mention the fact Tesla was batshit insane and had all sorts of weird pseudo-religious beliefs about how electricity works. The money he grifted from Charles schwaab was used to fund his idea of transmitting electricity large distances through the earth; Not through wires buried underground, but literally through the earth. As you can imagine it didn’t work.
You mean Westinghouse someone?
Yeah they might find it a bit shocking
