Bad ass tesla

Shhhhhhhh.....We still like him more than Edison. Edison was a jerk.

It is actually stranger than that. “In 1898, Tesla demonstrated a boat that used a coherer-based radio control—which he dubbed "telautomaton"—to the public during an electrical exhibition at Madison Square Garden.[126] The crowd that witnessed the demonstration made outrageous claims about the workings of the boat, such as magic, telepathy, and being piloted by a trained monkey hidden inside.[127] Tesla tried to sell his idea to the U.S. military as a type of radio-controlled torpedo, but they showed little interest” - Wiki. He told them what he’s made and they thought he was lying.

Exactly he wasn't a weird guy he was hella smart and a cunning ass buisness man he wouldn't have tried that shit.

Actually he was a shitty business man. He felt that his inventions would change the world for better and wanted to give his work away for free to everyone. He got funding to build a radio system and was secretly using the money to work on free wireless electricity for the world. When his investors found out they had him declared insane and took over all of his prospects leaving him poor and driving him crazy. The guy was exactly the type of person that would have brought prosperity to the world if he had been allowed. Instead greedy businessmen including Edison shut him down and pushed him into obscurity. Fun Fact: Donald Trump’s uncle was one of the professors involved in “collecting” Tesla’s works on behalf of US national security after he died. https://www.newyorker.com/news/amy-davidson/donald-trumps-nuclear-uncle
