Unpopular opinion:
Nicola Tesla was a questionable figure himself at least. Despite having several great inventions, he claimed a lot baffling promises. He wasn’t scientist in my opinion, but inventor or experimenter. Since he don’t try to proof his ideas wrong, like real scientist do since 17 century. Reading wiki section Later years of him https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla#Later_years really gives me vibes of Musk tweets sometimes.
I’ve had this thought several times. It’s a damn shame.
But he is also revered and a unit of measurement of magnetic flux density, so a bit of a mixed bag.
People like Elon Musk destroyed Nikola Tesla.
Yea I feel really bad that his name was stolen by a talking pile of shit that’s literally the polar opposite of what he stood for in life. Honestly feels pretty terrible.
It’s real sad because I was super stoked for Tesla Motors like 20 years ago.
damn, not 10 years but 20 years ago. You’re an OG
Honestly me too. I remember seeing one of their earlier iterations on the street, shaped like a lotus supercar. I had hope then
It was easy to have hope for the company before Musk “founded” it
I mean, the first roadster was a Lotus.
In physics class I roll my eyes and sigh when we have to start talking about the T unit because my students’ brains are gonna go to one of those cars or the company.
Show a picture of Nikola Tesla anytime you mention the unit. Or just have a poster of him in your classroom.
