>>14429401>He literally invented the first AC motorNo he fucking didn't, he invented the first *brushless* AC motor. An important milestone nevertheless, but also important to distinguish he didn't come up with the concept of using AC to drive a motor.
>invented the first radio-controlled device, which was a boat that could be used to carry an explosive payload to a naval targetNo he fucking didn't, the first radio-controlled devices were demonstrations of using radios to turn on lights, ring bells, etc. that were shown off a full decade before Tesla made his little boats, which were deemed too crude and unwieldy a design to be a practical design for a remote-controlled torpedo. Tesla spent most of his time with his boats bullshitting to crowds convincing them that he was controlling them through the power of speech or through tiny robotic brains that could blink lights to do math problems and shit.
