I feel bad for Nikola Tesla having his name associated with all this nonsense. Not even death let him escape from rich assholes taking credit for the work of others.

it was the turn of the 20th century; everybody was a eugenicist. that's why we say 'people from the past sucked'.

Imagine disregarding the entire domain of Tesla's work - changing the entire world as we know it with his research and innovations - and the comment they need to make for online points is some virtue-oriented pat-me-on-the-back-im-ethical blorp about random social norms of the time. lol but cry.
