Part 10/11:
As the 20th century wore on, Tesla's vision of wireless energy transmission fell victim to a lack of investor confidence and mounting financial difficulties. Though he built Wardenclyffe Tower to pursue his wireless dreams, deteriorating circumstances forced him to abandon the project, leading to foreclosure. His health declined, and Tesla spent his final years living modestly at the New Yorker Hotel.
Despite his profound contributions to science and technology, Tesla remained largely unrecognized during his lifetime, often prioritizing the welfare of mankind over personal wealth. His inability to navigate the ruthless capitalist landscape of the time deprived him of recognition and fortune, contributing to his financial demise.
