When a Tesla gets stolen, do they call it an Edison?

The tagline for Edison motors is “Stealing Tesla’s ideas”

So you’re saying he invented the electric car right? jk. Edison, probably would have creamed his pants for an opportunity to create a government position to eliminate his competitors.

As much as I enjoy the song it’s important to remember that the Tesla vs Edison story is 60% bullshit.
