In his later years, Edison was stubborn and made many mistakes in judgment, angel investor Morgan acquired Edison's company, changed its name to General Electric, and it was indeed a game of capital, which was lamentable.

Mentioning his mistakes, one has to mention a figure that has been mythologized: Tesla.

As lifelong enemies, the biggest debate between the two is the development of alternating current and direct current. Of course, we are using alternating current now, and the answer is self-evident. But at that time, in order to fight Tesla, Edison used the media to constantly publicize the dangers of alternating current, such as electrocuting animals such as elephants, and even the first electric chair in human history to execute prisoners was also invented by him.

In addition to direct current, Edison also patented the invention of the film camera, and constantly sued the use of the camera, trying to monopolize film production, resulting in more and more people running to the West Coast to make movies, which gave birth to Hollywood.
