Was Nikola Tesla homeless

Answer 1

.... with out Tesla we would not have so many thing we have today

....including the computers you are using Tesla was not homeless, nor was he really interested in money.

Westinghouse owed him over 1 billion in 1900 era money. There was absolutely no way to repay Tesla for the debt that was owed at the time. Rather then perusing the issue, he burned the notes in front of Westinghouse.

He was friends with some very great people. Mark Twain is one such example. From what I can find, I don't see that Westinghouse and him ever fought, could you source that at all?

Tearing up an IOU 1 Billion would have made him a friend for life to me!

Was he crazy? Quite possibly. He certainly had some very unusual tendencies. It is assumed he had serious OCD issues. He brought his own silverware into the only place he would eat. This restaurant saved a certain place for him at the same exact time every night. He was often ridiculed for his bizarre comments. Great inventors can have personality issues also!

He spent the last ten years of his life in relative poverty, yes, but lived in a hotel (room 3327)(all of is places had to be rooms divisible by 3).
