This makes the name of his company interesting homage to Nicola. Nicola competed with Edison and Edison eventually won out.
While Musk's plans aren't the same as Tesla's, the idea that an important part of the new structure of the modern electric grid bears his name is great.
- pm90 12y agoHow did Edison win out? Our electric grids are AC, right?
- mikeash 12y agoEdison won in business, becoming rich and famous, rather than dying poor and alone like Tesla did.
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoTesla made many people rich however. And was wealthy himself from time to time. He spent it all on more basic research and development. A true citizen of the world.
