Elon Musk is the Edison of the current age.

[–] alsimoneau@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 hours ago

That's deragoratory to Edison, who's a piece of shit.

He's the same shameless marketeer, but Edison, while a "brute-force" guy rather than actually being insightful or visionary, actually did more than just steal the ideas of others

He definitely stole plenty of the shit he's credited with, but not everything like Elmo has

Not true. Edison was quite the inventor in his younger days. Elon is just a leech.
