Is that comment what it takes to be extremely religious?

He ran a whole shop of people working for him. Akin to how a painter like Reuben would have a bunch of painters under his wing doing work for "him" while he just came in to give the finishing touches/brushstrokes.

No. He stole ideas or got credit for stuff worked on by other under him or the like. Was a good salesman. Not saying he didn't invent stuff but he gets more credit than he should.

Steve Jobs imo

The Apple II revolutionized personal computing (though he shares credit with Wozniak on this one)

iPod revolutionized portable music/mp3 players

iphone revolutionized smartphones

iPad was an entirely new class of devices (tablets) that are now commonplace and have replaced laptops or specialized devices in many contexts

plus his entire design philosophy and aesthetic that resonates with people.

Dude was taken from us too soon

Nope. He is a fraud. Like has been said, he stole from Nicolai Tesla. If there was any justice, nobody would remember Edison and Nicolai Tesla would be a legend of history

His contributions are immeasurable, perfecting both the light bulb and the motion picture, but I don't particularly like him as a person. The man was racist, he used strong-arm tactics to intimidate early filmmakers when his patent for motion pictures was denied, and he electrocuted an elephant.

Edison was a grifter. He literally employed a team of inventors and claimed all of their work as his own.
