Edison told Nikola Tesla he would pay him one million dollars (That was a lot of money back then, and still is now) to invent a better generator or something. I can’t remember what it was. Well, he did make a safer and better lets call it a generator, and Edison refused to pay him, and passed the invention off as his own. Needless to say, Nikola quit working for Edison after that.
I didn’t know there was a new one coming out either.
