This is what a young thief and con man looks like.
A con man and a thief? Are you sure this isn't Elon Musk?
I'm sure there's always been stupid people. But with the emergence of social media in recent times, you actually get to see firsthand exactly how dumb and gullible some truly are…
General electric and Edison ruined Nicola Tesla. History is always written by the victors regardless of whether they are thieving psychopaths or not.
So much rancor for the man! As a boy he was my hero. Working on the Grand Trunk railroad on the baggage car. His chemicals starting the fire and the conductor throwing him off. It was all so brave.
Probably thinking about how he can take credit for other people's ideas.
Thinking about profit his own selfishness and screwing the rest of the world.
I bet he stole the camera for that picture too
Show me the picture of Thomas Edison as a girl too!
For people who believe everything "The Oatmeal" claims about Edison and Tesla
Edison's ideas came from a think tank. It's safe to say he "stole" from a wide variety of people.
Teddy he sure did
Quiet.....Bet most of you thought Tesla was just a car and had to Google to learn otherwise
A hero renowned for his infamy as grand thief of someone else's genius.
That face you make when you know you can steal well.
The smiling face of a future con man, before he became a thug and a thief.
What a smarmy looking little shitbird.
Probably stole that outfit.
Sweet favorite boy of the banksters.
He looks radiant in this photo
Would he be anything else?
He dreamed of 'Westinghousing' an elephant.
someone should’ve punched the kid in the face
I was just about to say that.
He later claimed to have invented the scarf.
And Bell may have been a thief as well.
"Here I go stealin' again"
What s bright spark
He got old young.
Original mugshot.
As opposed to a girl
Bully.
Lookie that lil thief
Legendary!
Looks like Oliver
Dodgy lil prick
Relative of yours?
Wanker
A thief and a crook
Stop hating
of course!
😂😂😂😂Look at that smile. What a piece of garbage
BLOGGER'S NOTE. I needed a laugh, and I got one. I have always hated pompous assholes who steal other people's ideas for their own glory, so this actually made me laugh out loud. I'd have to include on the list Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford, and (yes!) Walt Disney. My generation would have been horrified to see these comments. My generation was full of shit. Everyone disses comments sections, but in this case I think they're right on the money.
