Edison : I stole many I deas of Nikola tesla , I bet on your history and science book forget to mention it what ' s about you comment now

Answer:
prefer to it child.....
Many authors miss the point: Edison hired Tesla to improve all the Edison Company's DC motors and dynamos. Tesla quit, feeling ripped off.
But then Edison never used Tesla's radical designs.....
idk y ppl are having wrong prediction.... anyways prefer n enjoy reading....
Explanation:
Thomas Edison in short did not steal Nikola Tesla’s inventions and ruin him. The answer is more complicated than this.
Tesla was born of Serbian parentage, and began his working life, working for a phone Company in Budapest. In 1882, he headed for Paris, where he obtained a position with the “Continental Edison Company”. Tesla was invited to work in the United States of America, by Edison, after receiving a glowing recommendation from Tesla’s supervisor in Paris; which stated that Tesla was a genius and was as capable as Edison. Edison hired Tesla, he believed Tesla’s ideas were great, but were impractical to create.
Edison and Tesla had different ways of working; Edison relied heavily on experimentation, for his discoveries ( some historians put the reliance on experimentation, down to the fact of Edison’s lack of formal education. Tesla was emotionally driven, he was a dreamer and with his years of engineering training behind him. This enabled Tesla to picture any problems with the theory, and to solve the problem before it became a problem, when physically building the device. Later in there life’s both man publically criticised each other’s work.
Edison and Tesla had a clash of lifestyles, Tesla was a germaphobe, he is meant to have told the “New York Times”; that Edison had no hobbies, cared for no amusement of any kind and lived in utter disregard of the most elementary rules of hygiene.
Tesla and Edison were both egocentrics, who disliked egocentricity in others; they both required little sleep to function on. The clash that caused the most controversy between them, was over currents. Edison thought Tesla’s idea of AC (alternating current), technology to bring electricity to the population was impractical and dangerous, Edison thought his idea of DC (direct current) was superior and safer.
But what finally destroyed there partnership and made them go there separate ways, was the “bet”; Tesla insisted that he could improve the efficiency of Edison’s prototypical dynamos. Tesla worked diligently for months on the project, around the clock and made a great deal of progress on improving the dynamos. When Tesla demanded the reward, Edison claimed he was only joking; but he did offer Tesla a $10 per week raise. Tesla claimed that Edison had promised him$50,000 if he succeeded.
After this exchange, Tesla quit, he spent months in New York, picking up odd jobs, like ditch digger to survive; he saved his money, so he could build the “Tesla Electric Light Company”, where he developed several successful patents, including AC generators, wires, transformers, lights and 100 horsepower AC motor.
Tesla beat Edison in the battle of the currents; Tesla received backing from Westinghouse, J.P. Morgan and Astor. Westinghouse fulfilled Tesla’s dream of building a power plant at Niagara Falls, which powered New York City.
Tesla was a visionary, not a businessman, Tesla sold most of his patents for $1 million to George Westinghouse, an inventor, entrepreneur and engineer.
