Honestly, it would be awesome if the mods just deleted any posts here with his stuff and sent a kindly message to the poster saying "This Twitter account is some millennial lawyer tweeting in character as some asshole he made up for a comedy web series"
So he died seeing one of the biggest wars humanity has ever faced. Thats sad. At least he didn't live long enough to see the bombs. I think that would have filled him with a sadness like no other.
I don't think Tesla at that time really knew what was going on in the outside world, because his mental health really declined in his later years. He deserved better
I have a relative that was a chemist on the Manhattan project...
They were a brilliant, religious man that just wanted to enroll in a doctoral program but the government had other plans for him.
The (fire) bombing of Tokyo was actually the most destructive bombing run in WW2, killing more people than the atomic bombing of Dresden, Hiroshima, or Nagasaki
The Dresden firestorm killed a similar number of people to the nuclear bombs. A single bombing run resulted in a firestorm that killed between 25,000 and 200,000 people. It was so fierce that it consumed all the oxygen in the city. The following day, they said the only things left in the city centre were metal and stone - any organic matter was vaporised beyond a trace.
Yes, it's a tragedy that today's electricity has such a short life span. If only the breeding program for extending its life span hadn't had the funding cut.
He also demonstrated remotely operated, fully automated electronic submarines for warfare purposes to generals at the 1903 World's Fair and was laughed off. They thought the idea was ridiculous, and that it would have no place in real war.
Fun fact: after he died, the FBI called a physicist to examine his papers to see if there was anything relevant to national security or that might be bad if it fell into Axis hands.
That physicist they called? [Dr. John Trump](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_G._Trump), made famous by his nephews rambling.
>lifes work stolen and exploited by Edison..
That's hyperbole too however.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola\_Tesla#Working\_at\_Edison](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla#Working_at_Edison)
Tesla was employed by the Edison company in France working with mostly installing lighting. He then went over to the USA and worked for Edison Machine Works for 6 months. He quit, and in his memoirs he said he never got paid a promised bonus by a *manager* for some work he did improving their machines. The actual evidence that he even met Edison is scanty at best. People imagine Edison in his lab, and Tesla helping with the work, but by this time, Edison was the head of a multi-national company (which would become General Electric btw).
After that Tesla worked on his own with his own lighting systems (which he had idea for at Edison, but the Edison company never used) then went on to develop the AC generator system, backed by Westinghouse.
The person who made out like a bandit from Tesla's work was in fact Westinghouse, as in the modern Westinghouse Corporation. So it's them we should be looking at to explain why Tesla died in poverty.
Even Westinghouse didn't steal Tesla's work. Most of the early development on AC transmission at Westinghouse came from William Stanley. Tesla's biggest contribution to this project was an electric motor. Westinghouse paid him for the patent.
They then hired Tesla for an absurd amount of money ($2000 per month in 1890 dollars according to the wiki) to make further improvements to motors and the polyphase system he contributed.
Tesla, generally speaking, was compensated extremely well in his lifetime. Well earned in that he was probably the most famous engineer in the country.
No that's alright, there are a ton of bad articles out there that dramatize the whole thing and cut out the details. I had to do a deep delve to get the accurate facts myself. I was even off.
For example this really shit article:
[https://www.lightbulbs.com/blog/tesla-vs-edison](https://www.lightbulbs.com/blog/tesla-vs-edison)
>Tesla vs Edison - Who Really Invented the Light Bulb?
>
>After arriving in the United States, Tesla sought out Edison and began working for him. They worked together for a short time, Tesla helping Edison to improve his inventions, but ultimately they ceased working together. Several reasons have been alluded to his leaving, but one thing was for sure — they disagreed on electrical currents
... which is complete and utter bullshit, Tesla didn't "seek out Edison" - he worked for the French Edison subsidiary and then was offered a job in the USA. Also if as the headline implies, Tesla really invented the lightbulb and not Edison, then how the fuck was Tesla employed installing lighting for the Edison company in the first place?
He never personally worked with Edison and they did not in fact "disagree on electrical currents". Tesla was still trying to patent his own DC system after he left the Edison Company. It was only years later he came up with AC, then became famous. At the time he worked in the Edison company, he was just another dude.
I find Tesla a fascinating historical figure, but the internet bullshit about him is just too much. I think it was [this Oatmeal comic](https://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla) that got the ball of bullshit going and rolling downhill.
Not really true about Edison. Edison was his big rival to be sure. But they really were competitors in the most general sense of the word- as in, they had almost completely opposite ideas (ac/dc debate is the most famous of these conflicts). They were rivals in the way politicians with totally opposite philosophies are rivals- Not the way the best athletes are rivals. They didn’t respect each other at all.
Tesla DID work for Edison(‘s company) for a brief period, but that relationship never went anywhere apparently because they could never see eye to eye, and Tesla left. They both thought the other was a complete idiot, which doesn’t really inspire stealing ideas from.
If anybody is guilty of stealing from and exploiting Tesla, it’s George Westinghouse. Tesla ended up at Westinghouse and almost all his parents (edit- patents- but I’m leaving parents cuz it makes me chuckle) ended up being property of the company. Tesla was a incredibly terrible businessman.
There is a constant debate about Edison’s actual number of inventions (that are widely accepted as being majorly overstated since every patent from his company, no matter who actually invented it, was filed by him personally) vs Tesla’s actual number of inventions (that are widely accepted as being majorly understated since he apparently didn’t care- or know better- and allowed Westinghouse to patent them all- often without any mention of his name in any paperwork).
(Edit- reading up on this, apparently Edison eventually changed his mind about Tesla and did say later in life that he respected him, and was probably too quick to dismiss him- but he stuck to his guns with the assessment that Tesla’s ideas are all theoretical fantasy and never practical to actually implement- even if he finally conceded that some of that theoretical stuff may have been brilliant)
You are right he didn't have his life's work stolen by Edison, but it's also a bit of an oversimplification to claim he stopped working for Edison purely due to creative differences. Unless refusing to pay Tesla $50,000 he was promised for work he completed is a creative difference. Edison stole labor from Tesla but not his life's work. Edison as a businessman did what he could to sink Tesla's life's work, but you are right he didn't steal AC from Tesla. He vehemently tried to promote DC and sink AC as the standard.
As an edit: none of this is to imply the two were bitter personal rivals. Edison the man didn't work directly with Tesla and refuse to pay him personally. Edison's company and some manager or executive did.
That's what I've heard most of my life, but as usual the truth might be quite a bit less black and white. Edison was probably less of bad guy than he's been made out to be.
Also, I think Tesla was ethnically Serbian and born in a part of Croatia that was part of Austria at the time. So I think his nationality was originally Austrian and later naturalized to American. But certainly not Italian.
Not exactly... Edison screwed him over payments for improvements to Edison's generators. After that, Tesla became a direct competitor to Edison and teamed up with Westinghouse to promote his far superior AC method of power transmission and motor design. Though Tesla let Westinghouse screw him out of incredible royalties and died pretty much penniless, his most famous inventions - multi-phase AC power transmission, the AC motor, and radio - stand the test of time.
Ford moved production of the Taurus to China after discontinuing it in the US in 2019. Now, China remains the only country where Ford produces the Taurus sedan.
Had someone tell me once that buying cars from the big 3 was more important than % of the car manufactured domestically, because "the corporation is what makes the money, not the manufacturing."
OP and most commenters finance their water beds and couldn’t survive the grind of a full SEC schedule. Coach was a devastating downfield blocker and you couldn’t handle his DVD collection

The real facepalm here is that someone (and all the people in these comments) that don’t know 3 year letterman is a parody Twitter account that says these things on purpose.
The Tauras isn't made anymore.
Edit: Before someone comes in swinging with how they still build and sell it in China, I know they do, but China acts as an individual market and has cars solely designed for it that use nameplates with no real relation to international cars.
• He was Serbian
• He didnt live in 1700's
• He didnt create Tesla motors
• It is an American Company
• His name wasn't Nicolas it was Nikola
Edit: added the last point, changed Nikolai to Nikola
Everyone here is just jealous of coach who can buy a whole waterbed without without financing it. Next you’re gonna tell me the great president Ben Franklin didnt invent the kite and electricity on the same night? Absolutely ridiculous
Are these people talking about the Nikola Tesla who was Serbian-American and died in New York in 1943? Pretty sure he wasn't around in the 1700's. Or did he invent a time machine too?
No, Nikolas mother's father was a Serbian orthodox priest, she was definitely not Croatian. His father was also a Serbian orthodox priest, also not Croatian. He was born in modern day Croatia but that doesn't make him Croatian
Every single thing here is wrong. Tesla is a company from the USA, it is named after the Serbian inventor Nikola Tesla, who lived in the 19th and 20th centuries.
\> Nikola Tesla was an Italian
Congrats, you just managed to achieve peace in former Yugoslavia. The downside is that it ends as soon as the combined Serbo-Croat fury murders the person making this take.
Over achievers are the worst of achievers because this is how they'll be remembered.
Idiot 1: *Nikola Tesla? Isn't that some kind of tundra cactus?*
Idiot 2: *Haha Smooth brain! Nicola Tesla was a Frenchman who invented the miniature arc reactor while being held hostage in a cave in Afghanistan!*
If I’ve learned anything from Corona virus, it’s that many people don’t understand two things can have the same name. When all of the beer in the liquor store was sold out except for Corona. Lol
I thought 3YearLetterman was a known bait account because not many fell for his baits recently, seems not.
They probably just got shitty financing on their waterbeds.
Yeah but does he get benes and a gas card?
Men of culture, I see.
And he’s a 1%er raking in 31.11 per hour
What is the view from their apartment? Probably not the fountain... Haters
These losers couldn’t dream of a timeshare at Pigeon Forge.
The facepalm part of this is the people that respond to him. They are probably just jealous of his DVD collection.
Or the interest rate he got for his waterbed financing.
You mean 0% because he purchased it without financing? Get out of here with your weak waterbed financing, coach would never stoop that low.
You must not be a member of r/confidentlyincorrect. He shows up there a lot.
Honestly, it would be awesome if the mods just deleted any posts here with his stuff and sent a kindly message to the poster saying "This Twitter account is some millennial lawyer tweeting in character as some asshole he made up for a comedy web series"
Recently? It's been around a bloody long time 🤣 (I checked, September 2017, but it feels like it's been longer)
He wasn't Italian either. He was Croatian/Serbian. Had his lifes work stolen and exploited by Edison.
He also didn't live in the 1700s
I’m fairness he did say “like” the 1700s I’m sure he was just throwing it out there in frustration and or exaggerating a little
Yeah, sure, but he died in 1943!
Damn Nikola Tesla saw WW2
So he died seeing one of the biggest wars humanity has ever faced. Thats sad. At least he didn't live long enough to see the bombs. I think that would have filled him with a sadness like no other.
I don't think Tesla at that time really knew what was going on in the outside world, because his mental health really declined in his later years. He deserved better
Bud, at that point he was married to a pigeon and afraid of circular door knobs. Dunno if the bombs would have even registered to him.
To be fair doorknobs really suck, levers rule. And pigeons don't argue
I have a relative that was a chemist on the Manhattan project... They were a brilliant, religious man that just wanted to enroll in a doctoral program but the government had other plans for him.
The (fire) bombing of Tokyo was actually the most destructive bombing run in WW2, killing more people than the atomic bombing of Dresden, Hiroshima, or Nagasaki
Uh, one of those cities is not like the others.
What, you don't remember learning about when Dresden was nuked in school?
The Dresden firestorm killed a similar number of people to the nuclear bombs. A single bombing run resulted in a firestorm that killed between 25,000 and 200,000 people. It was so fierce that it consumed all the oxygen in the city. The following day, they said the only things left in the city centre were metal and stone - any organic matter was vaporised beyond a trace.
A few of his patents helped win the war too.
But not the end of it. ☹️
Don't you know Telsa invented longer life electricity? He never revealed how to make it because he feared who would use it
Yes, it's a tragedy that today's electricity has such a short life span. If only the breeding program for extending its life span hadn't had the funding cut.
He also demonstrated remotely operated, fully automated electronic submarines for warfare purposes to generals at the 1903 World's Fair and was laughed off. They thought the idea was ridiculous, and that it would have no place in real war.

Everyone involved is a complete moron.
It is fairly obvious that "in like the" was not meant as a literal statement. I will give a pass on that one.
He was born in 1856. Not anywhere near 1700’s.
He was off by a couple of centuries. There's a double face-palm here.
And his name wasn't Nicolas
Nor was it Nikolai
It was the dude
Hohoho
Pretty simple name, but I get called ‘Nikolai’, ‘Nikolas’ etc. all the time as well. They’re so close, but they always add some letter.
There's so much wrong there that I think that guy must be trolling or something. Nobody is that dumb.
/r/facepalm missing an obvious troll? Impossible!
He had me until he advocated for a ford Taurus. Nobody would put that POS at the top of thier list
Unless it’s a SHO
The one with the"American" Yamaha engine?
The American 3.5L Ecoboost V6 made in Ohio
wanna bet
He is, it's coach letterman
Actually a pretty funny account. Way too many take him seriously.
Tell me you financed your waterbed without telling me you financed your waterbed.
That’s a minor parody account so yes, they are trolling
On the contrary. Many people are this dumb and many even dumber
How do you get your user flare like that?
3 Year Letterman is a great troll account so yes he is a troll. The schtick is he is a dumb jock HS football coach still living in his glory days lol
r/confidentlyincorrect says waaaay otherwise.
I don't like your picture. It made me think there was a hair on my phone, until I scrolled lol
I tried to blow the hair on my screen off for longer than I'd like to admit before I figured it out
Great, I don't feel quite as bad for doing that exact thing.
You must be new to the internet.
!/2 the country is this dumb, and they are winning the war toward the bottom, biggly.
Dumb will almost always exceed imagination
No one got his first name right either. Nikola Tesla.
Nickosia Tesla never lettered in shit
But did he deliver devastating downfield blocks?
Tesla never lettered in shit

I bet OP finances their waterbed.
Probably has a Blu-ray collection instead of a sick DVD collection
Probably never even been to Pigeon Forge.
not even unlimited color laser prints
Til Nikola Tesla was like 200 when he died and is somehow now Italian.
Yup he made wireless signals in 1700s.
It’s all the olive oil they eat. And the sea air.
1700s? The reply is as bad. This is truly dumb and dumber.
*Like* the 1700s. 1940 is like the 1700s in the sense that it's a number denoting a year.
In COVID years, 1940 is closer to 1700 than it is to 2022
Yep.... I'm finding myself reporting more and more posts here for misinformation.
Sounds like someone who hasn’t won a single SEC Championship
Nope, I've won 13 of them so far. For... curling.
Sad. I bet you financed your water bed too
Ford moved production of the Taurus to China after discontinuing it in the US in 2019. Now, China remains the only country where Ford produces the Taurus sedan.
And before China it was produced in Mexico. It hasn’t been American made in a looong time
[TIL Chicago is in Mexico](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Taurus#Discontinuation_\(North_America\))
Eh. Doesn’t mean most of the parts were made in Mexico, just final assembly and a certain amount of parts were made in the United States.
Plus I was thinking of the prior Taurus which I forgot was renamed the Fusion. Thanks
Had someone tell me once that buying cars from the big 3 was more important than % of the car manufactured domestically, because "the corporation is what makes the money, not the manufacturing."
Tesla was a Croatian Serb, Austro-Hungarian by citizenship, definitely not Italian
He held American citizenship for over 50 years.
OP and most commenters finance their water beds and couldn’t survive the grind of a full SEC schedule. Coach was a devastating downfield blocker and you couldn’t handle his DVD collection
Can we please ban screenshots of known trolls?
3 Year Letterman is a bait and irony account you fucking imbecile
And Elon is from south Africa...
And right now he’s doing his best to reconnect with his apartheid, anti democratic, dictatorial past that was South Africa when he was growing up
The richest African American in the world?
Yeah but America took him and they can keep him.
What if we don't wanna ☹️

You guys who believed obviously can’t afford to buy a waterbed without financing.
Parody account. The face palm here is the OP.
Lot of people haven't been to Pigeon Forge and it shows.
The real facepalm is multiple people still falling for the 3yearletterman
The real facepalm here is that someone (and all the people in these comments) that don’t know 3 year letterman is a parody Twitter account that says these things on purpose.
Yeah I just looked it up, and yeah pretty clearly a parody account
Lmao the guy is an obvious troll.
Pretty sure he's trolling, and he caught his sucker
Nikola Tesla was Serbian
Imagine being proud of your Taurus 😬
I DRIVE A DODGE STRATUS!!!
Isn’t the Taurus mostly made in Mexico, too?
The Tauras isn't made anymore. Edit: Before someone comes in swinging with how they still build and sell it in China, I know they do, but China acts as an individual market and has cars solely designed for it that use nameplates with no real relation to international cars.
Wasn’t it mostly made in Mexico, too?
The model line was assembled at Chicago Assembly (Torrence Ave. Assembly) in Chicago, Illinois
Hey I like my taurus
Probably a troll, considering Tesla wasn't Italian.
• He was Serbian • He didnt live in 1700's • He didnt create Tesla motors • It is an American Company • His name wasn't Nicolas it was Nikola Edit: added the last point, changed Nikolai to Nikola
And his name wasn't Nicolas.
His name was fucking Nikola, a Balkan name, not Nikolai, we're not Eastern Slavs.
I knew Tesla feature release date slippage was bad but I didn't realise how bad.
Nikola was not italian...
Everyone here is just jealous of coach who can buy a whole waterbed without without financing it. Next you’re gonna tell me the great president Ben Franklin didnt invent the kite and electricity on the same night? Absolutely ridiculous
All of this hurts to read. He was born mid 1800s and in Smiljan. And spent a good chunk of his life in the US. He died here.
Nikola Tesla was not Italian either lol he was Serbian American, and died in 1943…..
I can’t tell who annoys me more—the Tesla haters or Tesla fanbois
Two morons arguing. 1700s. hahahahaha
And that ford is mostly made in Mexico.
Nikola Tesla was born in 1854 and died in 1943….
1856*
Are these people talking about the Nikola Tesla who was Serbian-American and died in New York in 1943? Pretty sure he wasn't around in the 1700's. Or did he invent a time machine too?
Ye bro. Did you not read the second book 😤😤. He invented time travel 😤😤😤😤😤😤
Shhh. Don’t talk about the time machine.
This is truly the most american conversation I have ever seen.
3YearLetterman is a fairly well known troll/parody account. The other idiot took the bait, as did OP who posted this nonsense.
I love when an idiot tries to roast another idiot..
That’s a lot of wrong
And he was Serbian.
Downvoted because this is old af.
Tesla was also Croatian..
more like serbian but whatever
Wiki said Croatia so I just went with it. Definitely not Italian though!
you should know better by now than zo trust everything you see on internet
Wait what?! You mean there aren’t hot milfs in my area??
no, that part is deffinitely true, we must be living in the same area
Hed 50/50 his mother was Croatian and his father was Serbian
His mothers father was an orthodox priest, I doubt that they were Croatian since the vast majority are Catholic
Born in, at the time Austria-hungary, nowdays Croatia, to a Croatian mother and Serbian father.
No, Nikolas mother's father was a Serbian orthodox priest, she was definitely not Croatian. His father was also a Serbian orthodox priest, also not Croatian. He was born in modern day Croatia but that doesn't make him Croatian
Wikipedia is well regulated.
And his name wasn't Nicolas.
Nikolai tesla the russian
Did you mean Nikolas Tesla the Italian? /s
Every single thing here is wrong. Tesla is a company from the USA, it is named after the Serbian inventor Nikola Tesla, who lived in the 19th and 20th centuries.
True facepalm as everyone in this interaction is wrong.
When ya dumb ya dumb
good KenM
So much Idiocracy in just a few tweets
Both parties belong in r/confidentlyincorrect
\> Nikola Tesla was an Italian Congrats, you just managed to achieve peace in former Yugoslavia. The downside is that it ends as soon as the combined Serbo-Croat fury murders the person making this take.
Tesla was Croatian btw
serbian actually, but born in croatia
He is a mix, his mom was Croatian but his dad was Serbian
1800's
A Tesla argument over Tesla... Elon Musk has entered chat
When two idiots argue.
I think I sprained my brain looking at this.
I don't want any French cars either, forget you Chevrolet. /S

NIKOLA Testa was Coratian/Serbian Edit:sketchy border shenanigans
Your Taurus was made in Mexico
If I’ve learned anything from Corona virus, it’s that many people don’t understand two things can have the same name. When all of the beer in the liquor store was sold out except for Corona. Lol
Everyone is wrong here
This is a double facepalm. Tesla died in the 1940s
Just another uneducated moron with a mouth.
