Edison is the faggot that tried to undermine Tesla's superior AC current tech. Garbage guy.
So Tesla hooks up with George Westinghouse who was quite wealthy, and they try to sell America on the benefits of AC current. Which for an electrical grid are pretty good, its much more efficient at moving electricity a long distance. Edison fought back by doing things like famously electrocuting a circus elephant with alternating current and trying to to show the public that Westinghouse's electricity was more dangerous, even recommending Westinghouse's AC generators to be used for the electric chair.

Tesla died penniless. Edison died a millionaire. It was just a quote about perseverance.
