The ultimate historical burn! This meme perfectly captures Edison's notorious reputation for "borrowing" other people's inventions and claiming them as his own. The top portrait shows Nikola Tesla (the original idea guy) while Edison is shown below as the guy who basically took Tesla's brilliant ideas, amplified them with his business acumen and marketing skills, and got all the credit. It's the 19th century equivalent of repeating someone's joke at the meeting but louder and getting all the laughs. The scientific community still hasn't recovered from this historical mic drop!
