He also died a virgin and fell in love with a pigeon... I guess that's the price of genius.

Everyone always brings this up to me when I mention him in conversation... to be totally honest, I don't really care. I have so much respect for his innovation and wisdom

I'd like to be a genius... but not at the cost of dying alone, penniless, crazy, and a virgin.
So he wasn't a business man. Who cares.

Many people make great sacrifices in offering their gifts to the world... his research and inventions that were stolen by the government when he died will be the foundation of a lot of technology that will dominate our future.

It should have been implemented a long time ago, but our economies still depend too much on things like oil, gas and war and the rich want to stay rich.

Hopefully we'll see it in our life time

Always felt bad for Tesla man.

Dude died broke and with Edison and rich *******s who could afford patents stealing all his ideas.

He was a genius in the truest since of the word.

RIP Big T...RIP

He was one of mankind’s greatest minds.

Not like the genocidal con man Einstein was. Propelled by media.

At least for me.
I understand that, but as someone who was born into a lot of money, it is boring to me and it's not something I respect, wisdom however, I find fascinating and definitely something I respect

I'm not vicariously imagining myself in Nikola's shoes... I'm just saying he was amazing

Great mind, poor businessman. Would've been the richest man in the US if he didn't tell his buddy, George Westinghouse, that he didn't have to pay him royalties. This is where I would post Tesla's video for Edison's Medicine if I knew how to imbed...

Nikola Tesla was way overrated. Much like the car company named after him.
His [Tesla's] thoughts and efforts during at least the past 15 years were primarily of a speculative, philosophical, and somewhat promotional character often concerned with the production and wireless transmission of power; but did not include new, sound, workable principles or methods for realizing such results.

He already invented wireless energy and wireless phones. Too taboo for modern society. Can confirm I was issued his death ray for the new space rangers program.
