Feeling threatened by the rise of AC, which could be distributed over long distances much more economically than DC, Edison launched a propaganda campaign to discredit AC and convince the public it was dangerous. Ultimately, however, Edison failed in his efforts to discredit AC. Westinghouse won the contract to supply electricity to the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago

AC is in waves and you can increase the frequencies in waves making it a higher voltage

stole the invention of the phonograph form a French printer and bookseller named Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville who created his “phonautograph” more than 15 years before Edison’s 1877 “invention” of the phonograph. Again, Edison made no mention of de Martinville when marketing his own device.
After the early part of his career, Edison assembled a workshop with a group of inventors and worked them hard on a variety of projects. He would patent their inventions under his name
Thomas Edison, neither invented the light bulb, nor held the first patent to the modern design of the light bulb. In reality, light bulbs used as electric lights existed 50 years prior to Thomas Edison’s 1879 patent date. In fact, Edison lost all patent rights to the light bulb both in Britain and the United States.
