Do a little research, he has a poor reputation today. People know he exaggerated stole and lied. If that's what motivates you, so be it.

Seems like a list of things that others falsely attributed solely to him, rather than him taking credit.

No he didn’t. Stop spreading this bullshit. The elephants owners electrocuted it after receiving backlash after they were going to hang it. There is a false tale that Edison did this to display the “dangers alternating current”. But Topsy the elephant was electrocuted 10 years after the War of the Currents. Edison wasn’t even present.

And then I will kill an innocent elephant while trying to discredit Tesla, plus steal a lot of other ideas.

Seconding this. You are totally free to cut off people who are no longer a part of your life. That’s actually needed to make space for the new people that will come into your life.
Wish them well, then move forward.

Great reminder. Lack of self-respect is unattractive and unhealthy in the long run.

Eh, I think this quote is fine in that he isn't talking about X-rays. He's talking about light bulbs, right? It's not to give a license for recklessness, but to stave off discouragement with an optimistic perspective on seemingly fruitless work.
If asked about X-rays, I'd like to think he would agree that he failed when he got someone killed.

Which makes it even more ironic considering the person who bought out the Tesla brand..

Yeah, this should be the post title!
You re not lingering in someone s life if he/she is not honest with you about how he/she feels, you re just being deceived.
