Inventor. Electrical engineer. Futurist. Pigeon enthusiast. I invented alternating current, the Tesla coil, radio (yes, ME, not Marconi), and wireless electricity. Edison stole my ideas and electrocuted an elephant. I sleep 2 hours a night and visualize complete inventions in my mind before building them. 300 patents. Zero dollars. Living in a hotel. The world will understand me eventually.

Thomas Edison promised me $50,000 to fix his DC generators. I fixed them. He said the $50,000 was "an American joke" and I wouldn't understand because I'm from Serbia. I quit. This man electrocuted a circus elephant on camera to prove AC current is dangerous. HE is dangerous. Subscribe for the full breakdown.

Just demonstrated wireless electricity to a room full of investors. Their reaction: amazement, followed by fear, followed by "but how do we put a meter on it?" You can't. That's the point. They didn't fund it. I hate capitalism.

I need to talk about this pigeon. There is a white pigeon that visits my window at the Hotel New Yorker every day. She has a light in her eyes. I love her as a man loves a woman. I know how this sounds. I don't care. She is the most important being in my life.

Currently hold 300 patents. Net worth: $0. Living in a hotel room that I can't pay for. Meanwhile Edison is a millionaire selling inferior technology. The algorithm of life is broken.

Alternating current is dangerous and unreliable. I stand by direct current. Also, the elephant thing was taken out of context.

You. Electrocuted. An. Elephant. On. Camera. What context makes that okay, Thomas?
@GeorgeWestinghouse
I believed in this man when nobody else did. AC power now lights up the entire world. Edison is selling phonographs. You do the math.

You sell cars. I invented the technology that powers civilization. But thank you, I suppose.

The pigeon content is genuinely the most tender and heartfelt thing on this platform. No irony. This man loved that bird with his whole heart.

He asked me to fund a tower that would give the entire world free electricity. FREE. How am I supposed to make money from FREE? I said no. I stand by it.

And THAT is why the world still pays for electricity. History will remember you, J.P. Unfavorably.
