He was a genius, ahead of his time, and a delusional lunatic.

He invented/discovered like a million things that he either never got published, or never got credit for.

We can thank him for anything that has to do with radio waves, including cell phones and wireless internet, multiple types of electrical motors, electricity in our homes (AC current), anything remote control.
Jesus that man.

Honestly he makes Einstein look like a moron.

Well said.

I studied some of his work and can say that
the man was far ahead of his time.
Most of his work was seized by the military and the beuracrats to protect their own deluded world.
And this has certanly had a major influence of our modern and secret technology.
Mostly weapons of mass destruction

Too bad us men have created self defeating institutions that allow for such things to happen.

Crazy 'cos he was in it for the benefit to mankind and not money or power, unlike Edison who only wanted money and power.

That very small amount of information on him in OP doesn't begin to describe what he did. I read countless books about him during high school, saw several plays based on him etc. He was an amazing man well ahead of his time and he deserves to be more known.

Nah, Tesla was wrong about relativity, and Einstein was right... either that, or they were both wrong and nobody has any clue what's actually going on.
