Don't get me wrong I think Tesla was a great inventor, but he was rather stupid about other things. He died penniless because he couldn't manage his finances and refused to accept any deals that would let others manage them. Edison was a so so inventor and general scumbag but he new how to handle money and how to get more. I've always thought Tesla would have thrived if he just capitulated and let others use his inventions to make money as long as they financed his ideas. What he needed was a patron. They would have made a great team if Edison just funded whatever projects Tesla wanted to do and in return Tesla let Edison make money off his inventions.

Tesla gave electricity for free. It's not that he didn't manage his finances... it's because he refused to be a capitalist.

He was completely reliant on others goodwill at the end of his life because he had nothing. He lived in a hotel and had lost everything he'd ever built because he couldn't afford to keep it. He didn't have to be a capitalist in order to be able to pay for his own food.
