And how was Tesla ‘screwed over’ exactly?
He WAS rich for a long time. He died poor because he lost all the money on his ‘wireless electricity’ idea that noone wanted to fund, because they knew it’s not going to work. Tesla didn’t know that. You know why? Because he sucked ass at physics. That’s also why he would have never understood the concept of a transistor.
Please stop spreading misinformation about Tesla being some misunderstood genius screwed over by greedy corporations. He was not. He screwed himself over.

“He was a genius” does not equal “he would have invented something that hadn’t been invented yet if he had the money to do so.”
Do you even have any evidence that he was working along those lines?

I said understand the concept, not invent it. So no i dont have any evidence for something i never claimed. Wtf is wrong with you.

Okay, sure. He might have understood the concept of genetics too. But he didn’t, so that’s not relevant.
