As far as I'm aware, Edison had a great many more of his inventions come from the patents of employees, assistants, and ones he just straight up bought, and made changes from there (aka Concept Improvement skill). Tesla had much fewer assistants and actually came up with most of his inventions and patents. In fact, he came up with the Alternating Current, but it was thrown out by Edison and remade into the Direct Current which was simpler but not as efficient. You could also say it was easier to make a profit from. That's probably why he's not a 5 star, he had a great charisma score and worked great off of other people's works, but doesn't hold up to other 5 star servants when it comes down to it.
