No, the Wikipedia article about Edison http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Edis ...

Edison did not invent the first electric light bulb, but invented the first commercially practical incandescent light. Several drafts have been noted in previous inventors, the patent he purchased from Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans, Moses G. Farmer develops, Joseph Swan, James Bowman Lindsay, William E. Sawyer, Sir Humphry Davy, and Heinrich Göbel. Some of these early bulbs had such errors as the extremely short duration, high cost of production and high electric power, so it difficult to achieve, on a large commercial scale.

No, it was Edison. Tesla had a rudimentary knowledge of the average
where he worked.
