He had no hobby, cared for no sort of amusement of any kind and lived in utter disregard of the most elementary rules of hygiene ... His method was inefficient in the extreme, for an immense ground had to be covered to get anything at all unless blind chance intervened and, at first, I was almost a sorry witness of his doings, knowing that just a little theory and calculation would have saved him 90 percent of the labor. But he had a veritable contempt for book learning and mathematical knowledge, trusting
anyway, he was a total *ssh*le, his inventions were inefficient because he would simply stop trying to improve a design once it actually worked, rather than trying to improve upon them at all. At one point he promised to pay Tesla about $50,000(around 1.1million in modern dollars) to redesign one of his inefficient machines. When he finished completely redesigning the machine, Edison decided not to pay Tesla anything, but instead continued to pay him a small weekly income.
