    My favorite (actually true) story was that Edison possibly had a French inventor disappeared on a train. The man had been hard at work and created a supposedly superior prototype movie projector that would surpass Edison’s fledgling efforts. He was on that train, with his machine, to attempt to gain capital from investors and commercialize the product. He and the machine were never seen again.

    Probably wouldn’t have happened if good Edison had still been around…

    Also, Edison is just Elon Musk. Possibly reincarnated by use of a Lazarus machine.
