General Electric

Notice how GE marketed itself originally as keeping everyone safe:

Edison carried out a campaign to discourage the use of alternating current, including spreading disinformation on fatal AC accidents, publicly killing animals, and lobbying against the use of AC in state legislatures. Edison directed his technicians, primarily Arthur Kennelly and Harold P. Brown, to preside over several AC-driven killings of animals, primarily stray cats and dogs but also unwanted cattle and horses. Acting on these directives, they were to demonstrate to the press that alternating current was more dangerous than Edison's system of direct current. .... Years after DC had lost the "war of the currents," in 1903, his film crew made a movie of the electrocution with high voltage AC, supervised by Edison employees, of Topsy, a Coney Island circus elephant which had recently killed three men. Edison opposed capital punishment, but his desire to disparage the system of alternating current led to the invention of the electric chair. Harold P. Brown, who was being secretly paid by Edison, built the first electric chair for the state of New York to promote the idea that alternating current was deadlier than DC. When the chair was first used, on August 6, 1890, the technicians on hand misjudged the voltage needed to kill the condemned prisoner, William Kemmler. The first jolt of electricity was not enough to kill Kemmler, and only left him badly injured. The procedure had to be repeated and a reporter on hand described it as "an awful spectacle, far worse than hanging." George Westinghouse commented: "They would have done better using an axe." --Wikipedia

Ironically, accurate history doesn't leave much of a market in modern times for the type of "safety first!" B$ that gave birth to GE.

On the other hand, two days after Tesla's death the government seized all of his possessions... imagine that. Maybe he's generally the person who had an imagination that worked in reality?

 The problem with reality:

Tesla had particular difficulties interacting with authority figures, especially his employers. This was due in part to his superior understanding of the electrical systems that he was working on. He faced constant frustration because his mind held perfect designs for futuristic machines that did not yet exist in reality. Instead of being able to freely create his designs, he was forced to work instead for people who could not even comprehend them. Tesla preferred to work alone because he could not slow down to wait for "lesser men" (including Thomas Edison). At times, these "creative differences" would lead to Tesla's dismissal. In his later years, Tesla became even more socially isolated. He began to spend part of each day methodically feeding pigeons and bringing injured birds back to his Waldorf Astoria apartment to care for them. Despite his irrational fear of germs, he was often seen in the park with pigeons covering his arms (he even had a favorite white pigeon who visited his apartment window).

One might say that the arc of Tesla's life was better than Edison's, crazy as Tesla supposedly was... but at least Edison realized that we'd all be better off in Tesla's type of imaginative arc and with his lovey/dovey friends in the end. It seems to be the difference between being electrocuted by your own techniques and harnessing the power of electricity and nature in biblical proportions. Imagine that! We're probably better off without too much more, though. People blame nature and natural disasters but people are and have been moral degenerates and that's generally the real reason why we can't have more nice things.
