Driving an Edison
The image below was share by @steinkobbe.
I write A LOT about Tesla in CLOCKWORK FUTURES. Fascinating guy. But never a businessman. He even gave a speech at Niagara saying all electricity should be free.
Edison was a businessman. He had a lab where many inventors and engineers worked to perfect ideas that (by contract) then belonged to Edison. Meaning when Edison wrote, pithily, “ I didn't fail. I just found 2,000 ways not to make a lightbulb; I only needed to find one way to make it work.” What he really meant was ‘I needed a bunch of people under me to work late until they found a way to make it work.’ PS: a British inventor named Joseph Swan invented the first lightbulb; Edison et al. Improved it with better vacuum and filament. Swan sued Edison over patent infringement, upheld in UK.
Other Edison notables: he also mounted a propaganda campaign against Tesla and Westinghouse, and electrocuted an elephant named Topsy in 1903 to ‘prove’ that alternating current (his rival’s tech) was too dangerous. HE ELECTROCUTED AN ELEPHANT.
So… Edison stole ideas, made other people do the work while he got credit, convinced the world he was a genius, AND used media and propaganda to attack his rivals. Which means:
If it’s a car sold by Musk, its more appropriate to call it an ‘Edison.’

What perhaps most people can't see, is that it's not the 'cool' edgelords making the world go round. No, it's almost never ever the popular ones, the super loud ones, the sociable ones making a difference. It's always, always the nerds, outcasts, rebels, and misfits, the shy ones, the akward ones, the ones the others make fun of. It's in every single field like that. It has to be the insecure ones, because it is a fact that if you are, you are full of doubts, you are skeptical, and question everything. People who are so sure of themselves are never bright.
There's always a Tesla for every Edison, there's a lot engineers, scientists, and great minds for every Elon Musk (mind you, he is no engineer, he is only a businessman), a Woz or different wozes for every Steve Jobs. You might, in fact, have never heard about a lot of them, probably never will. And please, no, billionaire businessperson has ever made the world go round. The opposite: they have basically defecated on the planet. This cult of personality around billionaires comes from Ayn Rand. Besides, let's face it, our economic system has failed us for decades, hence their business ideas, like the ones before them, have not made any lives better by default.
I will never understand what makes people form basically cults around the barky ones and worship everything they say, do, even if they lie or harm someone. What is it that makes people so drawn to the loud ones? Is it their self-confidence? Or is it fear that they might get loud at you too? Perhaps it's some sort of primitive evolutionary trait/instinct in us to feel protected by following the allegedly 'strong ones'. Or is it the fact that people love to belong to groups and fear being rejected, of standing alone, whilst forgetting their critical thinking and even their own individuality? I love Teshigahara's Woman in the Dunes, because it does a good job at illustrating the foolishness and cruelty of people in groups.
All of those nerds, outcasts, and shy ones overcame the fear of standing alone, they overcame the norm, and their doubts led them to the quest of truth. That's what made them think differently in the first place. It's only authenticity, passion, and a genuine concern for making the world a better place that made people overcome everything, everyone, including themselves. Sheeple will never make a difference. Remember that.

I see parallels between Elon Musk, Thomas Edison, and Henry Ford.
Edison and Ford made great contributions to humanity, putting those two men in the league of Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, Einstein, and other earthly saints.
Musk seems to be moving in that direction, with his pioneering work in electric cars and commercial spaceflight.
And all three men were (and are) awful people.

In retrospect, it makes so much sense that Elon Musk's Idol is Thomas Edison. They are both of the same breed. Hack businessmen who steal ideas from others.

Nikola Tesla: Ha! Take that Edison! My name is still immortalized through a company, which is no doubt bringing forth new innovations to better humanity!
Edison: *looks to Gudao, who is sharing the same grim expression*
Tesla: What?

Someone that comes up with a sustainable motorized land vehicle (without taking someone else's credit) should call it an Edison.
The vehicle shouldn't be sold, Instead there should be an open source instructional guide on how to build it from scrap.
