You mean like the radio? I wasn't aware that Marconi used "Tesla" as a pseudonym.

Though I agree he's an amazing scientist and deserves more recognition that Edison and Einstein, but he should've released that technology for the good of the world instead of holding on to it for his own pride and monetary gain.

Tesla patented it first

Monetary gain? Fuck you. Monetary gain.

He died penniless in a hotel room because he gave up so many patents to save the company he worked for... Although I don't remember the name of it. Might have been GE

>Nikola Tesla not taught in schools
Not sure, honestly. He accomplished a lot. High School teachers have a schedule and standards. They're likely not told to teach you about Tesla

They're told to teach about Edison. Although Edison dindu nuffin. He made a light bulb and DC and some fancy inventions

Tesla was ahead of his time. However, I've noticed that he's been gaining interest in recent years.
