The Current War Never Ended
Tesla dreamed of free energy for humanity. Edison built the electrical infrastructure that powered capitalism. One died broke with over 300 patents. The other died wealthy with 1,093.
Tesla’s Vision
Tesla envisioned wireless power and saw innovation as a gift to mankind. He prioritized transformation over monetization. His legacy lives on in the foundations of AC power and electromagnetic theory.
Edison’s Reality
Edison commercialized electricity, pioneered DC systems, and invented not just products—but entire industries. He understood infrastructure, patents, and profit.
The War
Tesla optimized for radical invention. Edison optimized for incremental execution. AC triumphed technically. But DC and Edison’s industrial approach triumphed economically.
Modern Echo
Startups still face the same tension: Build like Tesla, or execute like Edison? Most want to disrupt. Few learn to monetize.
Who Wins?
Tesla wins history. Edison wins cash flow. Today, companies are finally realizing Tesla’s wireless dream—but executing with Edison’s commercial mindset.
The Synthesis Protocol
Hold Tesla's vision. Apply Edison’s grind. Dream impossibly. Ship weekly. The modern operator must think in decades and act in sprints.
