JP Morgan was interested in funding a project to wirelessly transmit stock quotes to his yacht and to his stakeholders in Europe. Tesla proposed a tower that could easily accomplish this trivial task and Morgan funded it.
But Tesla’s vision for the Tower was far grander:
To provide clean free wireless power for the entire planet using the Earth itself as a conductor.
When Morgan found out what Tesla’s full plan was he asked if this power could be metered. Tesla said no. JP Morgan, who owned a vast portfolio of oil assets saw this as an existential threat to those assets and withdrew financial support in 1906. Tesla was never able to secure additional funding and the Tower was eventually sold for scrap metal in 1917 to pay off debts.
The rest is history.

👇 friends, a thread to warm the cockles of your heart (whatever they are)
On this day, a tiny town in Canada opened up their hearts — and their homes — to 7,000 stranded passengers in their time of need.
They didn’t care about politics, or who the President was.
They did it because it's what Canadians do. Here's how they did it.
A Goodable Thread🧵
