Yup he was fucked by Edison whilst he was alive and then his name is tainted by Musk when he died.

Tesla truly was one of those people that was in for the science and the betterment of society and didn’t really care about the money. Sad that the money folk are the ones that prevail and convince us greed is the only way.

RIP Nikola Tesla.

Also fucked by JP Morgan if memory serves.

Possibly. I believe Westinghouse was involved too but don’t recall if he was an ally or ripped him off too.

No way Elon will be remembered longer than Nikola. Yes Leon tainted the Tesla name but I refuse to accept this will be forever
