running smear campaigns against Tesla


Didn't happen.

They did try to win the AC v DC war. Who can blame them, that's where their money was.

They were proven wrong in the long run, but I don't know where they smeared Tesla personally. They just killed some animals and people.

Tesla is mostly forgotten amongst the general public and Edison won the PR battle.

With that said, put me on #TeamNikola

It was Edison that killed the animals to claim that AC power was dangerous. Elephants were one of the animals killed to prove this point.

Edison got off easy in the PR game, IMHO.
