Nikola Tesla was not a failure at all. You’ve some serious balls to run your mouth so reckless. He just had no care for business.

I agree he wasn’t a failure in regard to invention, however I disagree that he didn’t care for business, he was just terrible at it. He tried to compete with Edison, was very rich at one time, and then lost it all. Westinghouse refused to give him more money, though I read Westinghouse took care of his expenses during Tesla’s later life.
He was also too trusting of those he worked with. George Westinghouse cheated him big time after Tesla gave him alternating current. The life’s blood of the modern electric grid.
