Yes he was an robber baron
The term "robber baron" typically refers to unscrupulous industrialists or monopolists in the late 19th century who amassed great wealth through exploitative practices. While some figures like John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie are often labeled as robber barons, others, such as Thomas Edison, focused on innovation and technology that contributed positively to society. Therefore, not every wealthy industrialist of the era can be classified as a robber baron, as their methods and impacts varied significantly.
Andrew Carnegie is often identified as a robber baron due to his monopolistic practices in the steel industry, while figures like John D. Rockefeller and Cornelius Vanderbilt are also labeled as such for their aggressive business tactics. However, someone like Thomas Edison, who is recognized more for his innovations and contributions to technology than for exploitative business practices, would not typically be classified as a robber baron. Instead, he is seen as an inventor and entrepreneur who advanced industries through his inventions.
