Ask HN: Nikola Tesla or Thomas Edison - who would you be

A man before him time, Tesla was an engineering genius. He discovered A/C current. Edison, on the other hand, remains a legend for inventing things people want, like the lightbulb. Tesla worked on things he wanted to work on without regard for how it would be received; without a care for if there was a market for his inventions. Edison focused his efforts exclusively on building things people want. Though technically brilliant, he was a business genius. Who would you rather be like, Nikola Tesla or Thomas Edison? ps: today is Tesla's birthday.
