About Nikola Tesla

A hundred years before Elon Musk sent a Tesla car into outer space and then took the electric-vehicle company and its stock on a roller-coaster ride, that name was made famous for a time by another larger-than-life tech visionary—Nikola Tesla himself, arguably his era’s greatest inventor and most ill-fated entrepreneur.
