He literally didn't. Read the author section, it was ghost written.
Ed:
My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla is a book compiled and edited by Ben Johnston detailing the work of Nikola Tesla. The content was largely drawn from a series of articles that Nikola Tesla had written for Electrical Experimenter magazine in 1919, when he was 63 years old. Tesla's personal account is divided into six chapters covering different periods of his life.
Notably been Johnston wasn't born until 1927 and Tesla died in 1946 when the author was 16, they never even met.
"Compiled and edited" doesn't mean written. He just took Tesla's articles and put them in a book. The words are still Tesla's. Like, what the hell are you on? You literally linked me one of those articles, and it's in the literal description you just quoted, so you must know that.
I also don't think you know what "ghost writing" means.
But most importantly you're just arguing semantics at this point. Instead of addressing any of the actual points, you choose to argue whether Tesla's words put into a book count as autobiography. It doesn't matter. They're Tesla's words, and you know it because you literally linked to the place where he wrote them. The only reason you'd do this is if you could see you're wrong, but were too stubborn and proud to admit it, so you try to derail the discussion by changing the subject. I will not allow that. If you still want to have this discussion, bring some actual points that are relevant, if not, that's fine by me, but I will not wrestle you in mud.
Compilations are ghost written to be contiguous.
No I did that so you'd see it was edited to be in a magazine then edited again to be in a book. Do you think many small circulation papers would be willing to slander one of the richest people in the planet at the time? No, seems unlikely right but they still left it written to be Edisons fault, the managing partner of Edison machine works was Edisons right hand man. It also includes that Edison told him he simply didn't understand American pranks when he really had an oral contract quick is generally enforceable. Let's also not muddy the waters but forgetting the reason I brought up the debt owed anyway, Edison was a piece of shit who said his favorite movie was birth of a nation....
Defend a shit person with your myopic shitty argument if you want but "I will not wrestle you" in mud.
