Would Nikola Tesla have approved of Elon Musk? A historian’s verdict might surprise you

Elon doesn't strike me as someone overly concerned with the opinions of others.

Tesla was an uncanny man with many futuristic ideas, like his Death Ray and teleportation ideas. In January 1943, the Feds swooped in at his New York hotel room 2 days after his death and grabbed his notes, trunks and artifacts before Tesla’s nephew from Yugoslavia could claim them. Then MIT professor John Trump (the President’s uncle) was given the task of examining the confiscated articles to see if there was any vital thing our government could use. Of course, they said there wasn’t.
