PBS Tesla: Master of Lightning I think Edison effectively made him appear like a crazy person and erased everything he could but history has proven Tesla superior to Edison simply for the fact we are using his technology right now. His death was suspicious.
Teslas improvement of the AC generator is still in use today, it probably provided the power of the device you are using. Forgive me if I don't care about your mischaracterization of someone who literally shaped the world you live in. 😂
Going to have to politely push back on this assessment.
You're right that Tesla gets far more credit than he deserves (the internet seems to think he invented literally everything prior to the iPhone), but he's still a pioneer in a wide range of fields of electrical phenomenon-- calling him a douchey celebrity isn't exactly intellectually honest given how many useful patents his name is on.
You're also right that he didn't invent AC- he first witnessed an AC dynamo as a kid, which inspired and fascinated him to pursue electrical engineering. He's credited with inventing the squirrel cage motor, which enabled AC power generation on a mass scale. Though not the same thing, also hardly nothing.
He ripped off some of the world's wealthiest financiers to chase his passion projects, unlike Elon who takes tax dollars to sneakily usher in the chains for our technological panopticon while posting edgy tweets. Was Tesla a giant douche? Probably, honestly. But not even the same species of douche as Elon.
Yes I agree that his accomplishments have been embellished a bit.
He was originally the guy who was overlooked because of fanfare over Edison. But then folk tales and legends of Tesla secret inventions became fan fiction.

He is definitely over hyped but there is some evidence of some unique designs that have been resisted, which is odd behavior.
Revive? This is the first time i see people smear him. Apart from the time he got swindled and eventually died, probably murdered, a poor man.
But ill do some research.
He definitely had some different views that I've heard nowhere else
