Tesla was a businessman, first and foremost.
He bombed in his attempt to gain a university degree and was subsequently very critical of science and scientists.
None-the-less, he contributed much to the modern-day world of electrical engineering and his activities coincided with a kind of second industrial revolution.
To this day, many pseudosciences glorify him and present him as a role model.
His ventures in the business world were not successful and his ideas were often ill-founded and lacking in real-world applications.
He had an eccentric personality at a time where flamboyant entrepreneurs were regarded as heroes in a developing, capitalistic, industrial USA.
Cheers
