In his early adulthood, Thomas Edison worked as a telegraph operator, which honed his technical skills and sparked his interest in invention. He began to create and patent various devices, including improvements to the telegraph system. Edison's entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish his first company, where he focused on developing and commercializing his inventions. Despite facing challenges, his innovative mindset set the foundation for his future successes as a prolific inventor.
Thomas Edison patented an electric distribution system in 1880, which was essential to capitalize on the invention of the electric lamp. On December 17, 1880, Edison founded the Edison Electric Illuminating Company. The company established the first investor-owned electric utility in 1882 on Pearl Street Station, New York City. It was on September 4, 1882, that Edison switched on his Pearl Street generating station's electrical power distribution system, which provided 110 volts direct current (DC) to 59 customers in lower Manhattan.

In the "War of Currents" era (sometimes, "War of the Currents" or "Battle of Currents") in the late 1880s, George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison became adversaries due to Edison's promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over alternating current (AC) advocated by Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla. resources: wikipedia

Sir Thomas Alva Edison.
When he came in 1884, he began working for Edison who offered him $50,000 to fix a problem that Edison had with his direct current system. After Tesla fixed the problem, Edison was not a man of his word and didn't pay him. Tesla walked out and in a matter of time, produced the system the whole world was going to use which was the ac system.
