Ha peer review? He had enough of his ideas stolen from him ie marconi. Supreme Court ruled in the 60s that tesla had indeed invented not only radio but remote control vehicles. Marconi still gets the undue credit.
Tesla had personality disorders no doubt, but his genius is unrivaled, maybe Archimedes, Di Vinci.
Read some books about him, you will withdraw your statement.
Have read 'em. So what? Which statement am I supposed to be withdrawing? Did I say that he WASN'T a towering genius?
And if you are looking for an example of a stolen idea, forget Marconi, consider the dynamo redesign that Tesla did for Edison. That was definitely a dirty job by the "Wizard of Menlo Park". He quit Edison over that one.
