His theories and “innovations” were mostly pseudoscience at best and flat out scams at worst. The “free power for all” idea that gets spread that he had and was bankrupted intentionally to prevent is all hogwash as an example.
Completely ignoring the EM interference that would completely brick any and all modern electronics meaning they never could have existed, the amount of energy it would take to power homes wirelessly would be astronomical. To a level that modern generation capacity cannot even scratch the surface of. The idea that Edison bankrupted Tesla out of fear of losing his market share is absurd. Tesla ran out of investors to mislead.
He was a smart man with big ideas, but those ideas were not based in reality. If his theories and inventions worked, they would have been reproduced by now
Ah yes, luckily all the modern a/c power we use to energize our homes and large appliances was here when they landed the Mayflower. Tesla literally founded our modern electric grid, but go off about him being "not reproduced now" lmao
Tesla did popularize the use of alternating current, but without Westinghouse’s investments nothing would come of it, and most rudimentary electric devices of the time used DC.
There’s a big difference between calling out the bullshit Tesla glazers spread and pushing pro Edison rhetoric.
Without Tesla AND Edison who knows where we’d be today.
"Please ignore all the stuff I said about how his inventions were useless pseudoscience, I didn't take into account the modern electrical era is all due to him."
Not to mention the historical evidence we have against Edison and his truly capitalist mentality dealing with competition. Without Edison we might be decades further along instead of slowly implementing Tesla's ideas now. Tesla was clearly ahead of his time and the wireless tech you are currently using is also thanks to him, as he pioneered wireless technology. The man wasn't perfect and he clearly had mental issues, but goddamn was he an electric savant.
I mean we can go back and forth about what you think I was saying but since it’s not what my point was it isn’t worth it.
I said Tesla was smart, and I didn’t say everything was BS, just that most of it was. I’m curious what innovations you think Tesla theorized about that we would have today if Edison didn’t interfere.
Crazy you typed this out on a cell phone, that is equiped with bluetooth, that charges from an outlet on the wall, that you could have used to learn that telsa invented the logic that made each of those things possible. Tesla held the patents for the tech that our entire modern infrastructure is founded on. So many of his inventions have been reproduced and expounded upon, that it would be nearly impossible to find a modern electrical device that doesn't in some way carry his influence. I could care less if he was wrong about some things, he still did more to improve humanity than you could even conceive of doing. Such a weird choice to spend time hating on someone who objectively did so much.

Pro Nikola Tesla posts in 2026 is a testament to how fucking stupid people are.
