The rivalry between Tesla and Edison was about who could shock their genitals the hardest.

And the winner was everyone.

To keep ahead of the Smart Nerd Curve, I'm currently working on a time machine. I will find and suck the dick who first invented the Baghdad Battery.

Edison was an rear end in a top hat but no more than any other businessman and so is only deserving of an average amount of hate.

Because you can generate power at 13,800 volts, use a transformer to boost it to 135kV to send it hundreds of miles, drop it back down to 7200 volts, and then drop it again to 240/120V for your home.

Transformers man. And induction (squirrel-cage) motors too are probably equally as important.
