Nicola Tesla didn’t have anything to do with expensive, inefficient cars with a tent-spike logo, but he did beat Thomas Edison by discovering alternating current that went much, much further than Edison’s direct current.

Tesla submitted his patents to George Westinghouse. They had a no-lose system.

J.P. Morgan, pirate of multiple industries, set his sights on Westinghouse & Tesla’s operation.

Morgan told Westinghouse if he didn’t sell out, Morgan would crush him with lawyers.

Westinghouse folder, and General Electric was born.

Edison was a dirty dog, especially to Tesla.
