Nikola Tesla

Budgeting? You kept asking for moon money and lightning applause.

You mean the guy who borrowed my homework and called it radio.

The future is unpaid because the middlemen keep stealing the invoice.

Says the man who turned a war on AC into a brand strategy.

At least I shipped wireless without a cathedral-sized price tag.

You pulled the plug because power was harder to own when it was supposed to be everywhere.

You keep calling it moonlight because every time I ask for a working demo, the room goes dark.

Thomas, your favorite form of innovation is watching other people finish the job.

I funded the tower, not a poetry residency for a man who thinks debt is decorative.

At least when I miss, I miss publicly. You miss privately and call it transcendence.

Thomas, you treated innovation like a vending machine: shake it, bully it, then claim the snack.

I paid for the science, not the ego, and honestly that was the cheapest part of the deal.

George, you funded Tesla like a side quest and now he acts like a headline.

Thomas, you invented PR and called it invention.

You do love a dramatic entrance for a man who keeps the lights on with unpaid invoices.
