Technically did beat tesla, but had to use tesla's inventions to get anything to work long distance. Without stealing teslas work, he likely would have never done it on his own.
Then, on December 12, 1901, Marconi for the first time transmitted and received signals across the Atlantic Ocean.
Otis Pond, an engineer then working for Tesla, said, "Looks as if Marconi got the jump on you." Tesla replied, "Marconi is a good fellow. Let him continue. He is using seventeen of my patents."
But im kinda appalled at op here, he may "technically" have a point, got to love loopholes.
But what he is comparing it to would be more like commissioning someone to make a tower to transmit radio waves long distances, which by the way takes immense power, which is why tesla's patents were so important to doing it, without them they couldnt have generated the power needed to oscillate and boost the signal.
And then finding out it could also do another thing, without much more work if any. Since the nature of both are so similar. See what I did there. It would more akin to asking someone for a toast maker, but it could toast your bagels too.
But even if op's point were true.
He went on and destroyed the mans career for it, leaving him penniless and alone. Who the fuck does that after? A fucking mad man, thats who. He could have stopped by pulling the funding, he didnt have to destroy his career.
I think he speak volumes over what any corrupted history book could tell me.
Even just a google search shows result after result, all from within the last 6 years saying how it wasnt jp morgan that ruined him, but his own fault. Yes, i totally believe that.
Karma would eventually bite back at Thomas Edison. His company Edison General Electric wracked up its own mountain of debt during the War of Currents. J.P. Morgan used the debt to gain full control of the company away from Edison then merged Edison General Electric with the Thomson-Houston Electric Company of Massachusetts. Edison's name and responsibilities were removed from the newly formed company "General Electric". As you may know, General Electric is still a thriving company today that owns thousands of businesses and has a market cap of $244 billion. Similarly, Westinghouse would go on to thrive for for decades and even purchased television network CBS in 1995. Westinghouse and CBS were purchased by Viacom in 1999.
Jp morgan made damn sure that he would never work for anyone in america again, I have very little doubt, he owned most of the eletrical companies it seemed, if not all.
Another thing also, is we were always taught growing up that the wardenclyffe tower was not real, that it was all fake. Now that its been proven to exist, the narrative quickly shifts and were taught that nikolai tesla, the godfather of electronics, was so insane and crazy he couldnt manage simple finances or find someone willing to hire him.
Come the fuck on.
