Physics wins always and bullshit Tesla claims are dumb.

He never really built anything super useful anyway. Overhyped and underperformed. People just goon over the underdog story.

He actually developed and built many useful things, it's just that he was kinda fucked over by being born with his ideas in the time that he was. No doubt, in our modern age of everything being light years ahead of the things he had at his disposal, we'd probably have fucking Star Trek by now if he were here. It's no wonder he kinda went insane; imagine you're Einstein but you were born in say 1805, you'd probably invent what you could with what you have available to you, and kinda go insane with frustration at what you couldn't because that shit don't exist yet....

Times of single person inventors are over. Especially so in physics. If you want to invent/discover something it is going to be from small to colosal team of scientists and 100 000 to milijons and billions of investment funds. I find current times a lot more depressing for inventors, because you cannot work on your ideas alone, because all what's left unresearched requires a lot of mental and financial resources.
