There is 100% truth to what that person is saying. Edison, while he did have an education and was a scientist like you're saying, did a lot of super shady shit and bought out a lot of patents and also forced a lot of other inventors to work for him and he took the credit.
Einstein also had somethings like this. He famously would work with women so he could take credit for their discoveries. That doesn't mean Einstein or Edison weren't smart or weren't scientists, they just did some pretty immoral things and took credit for things they themselves didn't do.
Okay, if we're just suggesting media go watch the Drunk History on him. I am absolutely never, ever going to use ChatGPT and the fact that you are suggesting that makes me take you 0% seriously.

Elon Musk, the modern Thomas Edison.
Before anyone downvotes, read about the actual inventors of the lightbulb and pretty much everything else he "invented" tldr he bought out patents.
