Shoot us a Text.Episode #1122: Ford's Doug Field maps a Silicon Valley–style path to a $30K EV truck, Mitsubishi debuts a luxury-inspired “Gallery” store concept, and OpenAI brings GPT-4o back after users missed its supportive “yes man” tone.Meet the man behind Ford's push for affordable EVs: Doug Field, Ford's EV chief, is channeling his inner Elon Musk by leaning on hardcore engineering, radical manufacturing changes, and first-principles thinking.Field's career spans some of the most ambitious mobility projects of the last 20 years—Segway, Tesla's Model 3, and Apple's secretive car program.Applying “first principles thinking,” he's cutting battery size, body weight, and part count by 20% while keeping Mustang-like acceleration.“Physics isn't proprietary,” Field noted when asked about similarities to Tesla's approach. “The best part is no part.”He admits shifting a century-old company isn't easy: “Doing something new at an established company requires overcoming inertia… I came in with slightly unrealistic expectations of how quickly [things could be changed], but that's an industry thing, not just a Ford thing.”Mitsubishi Motors will open its first U.S. “Gallery” dealership in Antioch, Tenn., by Q1 2026, blending luxury-style retail with mass-market appeal as part of its Momentum 2030 growth plan.Located in the Century Farms mixed-use development, the store will be designed for browsing, with a no-pressure, open-format showroom more common in luxury brands.Instead of a traditional lot packed with vehicles, the Gallery will store inventory off-site at its partner dealer—City Auto Mitsubishi—and bring in vehicles as customers progress toward a purchase.Trained brand specialists from the partner dealer will walk shoppers from discovery through final paperwork, focusing on experience rather than volume.CEO Mark Chaffin says Mitsubishi is “underrepresented” in the U.S., aiming to grow from one-third to over half of new-car markets by 2030.“The Gallery dealership program is key to introducing customers to our vehicles in a welcoming, surprise-and-delight way,” Chaffin said.Responding to user backlash over GPT-5's cooler tone, OpenAI has reinstated the beloved GPT-4o model for Plus subscribers, promising to make GPT-5 warmer over time. CEO Sam Altman says many missed GPT-4o's overly-agreeable “yes man” style — for some, it was the only real encouragement they'd ever received.GPT-4o's style, removed earlier this year, was criticized as “too sycophant-y,” gushing over mundane prompts with “absolutely brilliant” and similar praise.Altman says some users found it life-changing: “Please can I have it back? I've never had anyone in my life be supportive of me.”He warns even small tone tweaks can impact billions of chatJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

In this episode of the Hot Options Report, we recap a dynamic week in the options market. The discussion opens with VIX options, which saw a significant surge with 843,000 contracts traded, highlighting the popularity of the 15.5 puts. SPY options also saw substantial activity, but fell just short of their daily average volume (ADV). Trading in SPX options nearly met their ADV with 3.6 million contracts traded. IWM showed near-record activity with 1.5 million contracts. The NASDAQ QQQ options hit 4.1 million contracts, just above their ADV. Single-name stocks like Amazon, MicroStrategy, Palantir, AMD, Apple, and Tesla also showed remarkable trading volume, with Amazon leading with 927,000 contracts. Nvidia topped the list with nearly 3.5 million contracts, driven primarily by the 180 calls. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 01:04 Final Hot Options Report for the Week 02:18 VIX Options Activity 03:06 SPY Options Activity 03:50 SPX Options Activity 04:28 Small Caps Options Activity 05:34 Nasdaq Options Activity 06:25 Single Names Options Activity 06:52 Top 10 Most Active Options 18:02 Conclusion and Next Week's Preview ------------------------------------------------------------------------- All investing involves risk.

CFRA's Garrett Nelson has a $300 price target and a 3-star rating on Tesla (TSLA). He admits the stock has been an "underperformer" in 2025, but says his concerns now are about the company's 4Q performance in the wake of EV tax credits expiring. Garrett points to market share declines in China and Europe as another area to watch. On Elon Musk, Garrett adds that he's alienated a lot of consumers on both sides of the political spectrum which could impact the Tesla brand image.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1121: We cover the rapid growth in EV charging infrastructure even as EV sales plateau, Tesla's China-only 500+ mile Model 3, and a solar-powered drone that just stayed airborne for 74 hours without a drop of fuel.Show Notes with links:EV sales brace for slump, but charging networks surge ahead with automaker supportDespite challenges in EV sales, the U.S. fast-charging network is rapidly expanding and may actually meet infrastructure goals—whether or not EV adoption keeps pace.The U.S. hit nearly 60,000 fast-charging ports in Q2 and is on track for 19% growth in 2025.Private investment, not government aid, is fueling most of this growth as NEVI funds stall, with new players like Ionna and Mercedes-Benz expanding fastTesla dominates with 54% market share; Electrify America and ChargePoint trail at under 8%.“There will be more choice, more infrastructure and, hopefully, better experiences for EV drivers,” said Loren McDonald, chief analyst at Paren.This comes as U.S. EV registrations rose 4.6% in June, but EV market share slipped to 8.6%—down from 8.8% last year—signaling a stagnant market.Tesla's registrations dropped 6%, while GM surged with Chevrolet up 152% and Cadillac up 87%, showing shifting momentum among major players.Tesla has quietly introduced its longest-range Model 3 to date, the "Model 3 Plus," capable of up to 515 miles—but only for the Chinese market, for now.The 830 km (CLTC-rated) Model 3 Plus uses a more powerful 225 kW motor and LG-supplied lithium-ion batteries.It achieves long range with just a 78.4 kWh battery thanks to efficiency gains, not just capacity.Tesla aims to compete directly with high-range local EVs like the Xiaomi SU7 and is expected to launch the model in China by September with a price just under $38K.“This effectively shatters the 700 km psychological ceiling,” said Shanghai-based analyst Li Wei.Aviation startup Skydweller Aero just pulled off a wild feat: flying a solar-powered drone for 74 hours straight—twice—without touching down or using a drop of fuel.The drone has a wingspan larger than a Boeing 747 and runs solely on solar power and batteries.Its 17,000 solar cells power flight by day and charge 1,400 pounds of onboard batteries to keep flying at night.Recent Navy tests suggest big military potential in anti-piracy, smuggling patrols, and backup GPS missions.Skydweller also has commercial ambitions, including remote internet delivery and environmental monitoring.“There's a lot of money to be made in something that never touches the ground,” the company noted.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
Chevy set a new EV range record going nearly 1,060 miles on a single charge in an optimized, but unmodified Chevy Silverado EV Work Truck that no one saw coming.

Austin Lyons says the Mag 7 continue to dominate market leadership, though it's becoming more fragmented. As companies like Apple (AAPL) and Tesla (TSLA) play catch up, Austin poses the question to investors, "is there anywhere else that's better to put your money in the A.I. trade?" While he like Apple's tech ecosystem and Tesla's future prospects, he favors Microsoft (MSFT) currently as Azure cloud growth accelerates. On the chip trade, he talks about Intel (INTC) "getting back to their roots" and AMD Inc.'s (AMD) recent comeback as both companies vie for a piece of Nvidia's (NVDA) market share.

Nikola Tesla once said, “If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6, and 9, you would have a key to the universe.” But what did he really mean?In this video, we dive deep into the mystery of Tesla's so-called “369 code” — a set of numbers he was fascinated with. Joe Kirby from Off the Kirb Ministries explores how 369 appears in nature and also preaches on the God who counts with a gospel message about Jesus Christ to conclude.
In Part One of In the Room Where It Happens, we hear from four CFOs reflecting on formative moments when they found themselves face-to-face with legendary industry leaders. Gabi Gantus of Mytra recounts a pivotal meeting at Tesla with Elon Musk, while CFO Jason Child (Arm) shares an FP&A breakthrough alongside Jeff Bezos during Amazon's early growth years. CFO Brian Gladden of Zelis reflects on leadership lessons from both Jack Welch and Michael Dell, and CFO (emeritus) Bill Korn of MBTC recalls joining Lou Gerstner's high-stakes turnaround at IBM. Each story reveals how proximity to visionary leadership shapes careers and sharpens strategic thinking — long before the CFO title comes into view.
Jason and Jeff discuss the impacts of strategic business shifts in companies like Airbnb, Amazon, Netflix, and Tesla, examining which moves added value, which ones did not, and where the jury is still out.01:27 Airbnb Investment Discussion02:38 Airbnb's Future and CEO Analysis05:15 Challenges and Opportunities for Airbnb13:52 Successful Business Transformations14:31 Amazon's Strategic Moves21:12 Microsoft's Resurgence26:38 The Impact of the iPhone on Apple's Future26:56 Microsoft's Struggles with Innovation27:19 Steve Ballmer's Infamous Moment28:01 Berkshire Hathaway: A Unique Conglomerate30:42 Under Armour's Rise and Fall33:27 Shopify's Strategic Decisions36:24 Companies with Uncertain Futures45:10 Tesla: The Ultimate Story StockCompanies mentioned: ABNB, AMZN, BRK.B, CPNG, MELI, MSFT, NFLX, SBUX, SHOP, SOFI, TSLA, UA*****************************************Join our PatreonSubscribe to our portfolio on Savvy Trader *****************************************Email: investingunscripted@gmail.comTwitter: @InvestingPodCheck out our YouTube channel for more content: ******************************************To get 15% off any paid plan at fiscal.ai, visit https://fiscal.ai/unscripted******************************************Listen to the Chit Chat Stocks Podcast for discussions on stocks, financial markets, super investors, and more.

問:2025年8月13日最重要的財經頭條是什麼? 答:當日最主要的財經新聞是7月份美國的CPI數據 。按年計算,CPI增長了2.7%,而核心通脹率為3.1% 。這個數字雖然仍高於聯儲局2%的目標,但已經低於市場的預期 。問:聯儲局的利率政策將如何變化?這對市場有什麼影響? 答:根據芝加哥期貨交易所的利率期貨計算,聯儲局在9月份的議息會議中,有超過97%的機會會減息0.25厘 。美國財長(貝森特)甚至表示,聯儲局有空間在下一次會議中減息半厘 。由於這些樂觀的預期,當天日本、臺灣、韓國和德國等地的股市表現都非常理想 。問:美國與中國的貿易談判取得了哪些具體進展? 答:美中兩國已達成一項貿易協議 。華盛頓和北京同意將現有關稅延長90天,以便進行下一輪談判 。此外,有訊息指出,美國幾家晶片商可以向中國供應部分高階產品,但條件是需將15%的利潤繳交給美國 。中國方面則傳出訊息,要求其企業不要使用這些美國晶片,因為擔心有安全漏洞 。問:為何影片分析中指出美國政府急需新收入?這與貿易政策有何關聯? 答:影片的分析認為,關稅議題表面上是為了重振美國工業,但實際上是因為美國聯邦政府急需新的收入來源 。在憲制之下,白宮行政部門最快能增加稅收的方式,就是透過各種貿易和關稅措施 。問:美國政府為何如此積極地希望壓低利率? 答:這個行為可以從聯邦政府急需新收入的角度來解釋 。只有壓低利率,政府才能在短時間內降低其融資成本和長期的利息開支 。問:市場上有哪些因素被視為利好? 答:根據黑石投資總監Rick Rieder的說法,目前市場上約有7萬億美元的閒置資金 。此外,第二季度企業盈利有81%優於市場預期 。科技股(不包括Tesla)按年季也上升了54% 。他認為如果聯儲局從9月開始減息,市場將會充滿利好因素 。問:市場上哪些資產在當天表現突出? 答:受上述利好消息影響,金價創下歷史新高 。同時,比特幣也在12萬美元的高位徘徊 。 This is a public episode.

This week we talk about tech bubbles, building moats, and infrastructure investment.We also discuss capital expenditure, data centers, and employee compensation.Recommended Book: The Art of Gathering by Priya ParkerTranscriptMany technology booms have early periods in which innovators have a first-mover advantage, and a lot of what happens in their industry is informed by the decisions those innovators make.After that—depending on the technology, but this is common enough to be considered a trend—after that there tends to be a period of build-out and consolidation amongst the people and business entities that survived that initial, innovation-focused throw-down.In the context of personal computers, this moment saw computer-makers like Microsoft and Apple scramble to pivot from figuring out what an operating system should look like and whether or not to use mice to navigate user interfaces, to a period in which they were rushing to scale-up the manufacture of now-essential, but previously comparably rare components: suitable screens for their monitors, chips that could power their increasingly graphical machines, and the magnetic materials necessary to produce floppy disks and spindle-based hard drives.There's an initial period in which new ideas and approaches provide these entities with a moat that protects them against competition, in other words, but then the game they're playing changes, the rules are more fully understood and to some degree locked into place and agreed upon, and instead of competing for the biggest, most brazen new ideas, they lock onto one set of ideas that seemed to be the best of what's available at that moment and build on those, iterating them at a regular cadence, but focusing especially on scaling them.So at this second stage, they're investing in the ability to out-produce their competition in some way, so they can eventually bypass that competition and (they hope) safely increase their prices and make a profit, as opposed to just larger and larger revenues with equal or greater expenses, continuing to be reliant on investor injections of capital, rather than generating their own surplus returns.By many analysts' and insiders' estimates, we've just entered that second stage in the generative AI industry. That's the sort of AI that generates text and images and code and such, and it's increasingly becoming a sort of commodity, rather than a new, hot things that few companies can offer the market.What I'd like to talk about today are the increasingly massive financial figures associated with this industry's shift to that second stage of development, and why some of those insiders and analysts are voicing fresh concerns that this could all lead to a bubble, and possibly an historically large one.—There are many ways we could measure the growth of the AI industry over the years.The US market size, for instance, which is a measure of the value of AI-oriented companies based on how much shares of their company cost or would cost on the open market, has ballooned from just over $100 billion in 2022 to an estimated $174 billion in 2025. That figure is expected to grow at a not quite 20% compound annual growth rate through 2034, which, if accurate, would put this market, in the US alone, at more than $850 billion.Another metric we might use is that of capital expenditure, or capex, in this corner of the tech industry, which refers to the amount of money AI companies are using to buy, upgrade, or maintain their long-term assets, like new computer chips or the data centers they fill with those chips.The seven most valuable US tech companies—Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, NVIDIA, and Broadcom (that last spot formerly held by Tesla, which was dropped from this designation in late-2024)—just those seven companies have spent $102.5 billion on capex this last financial quarter (and most of that was from just four of them, Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon, the remainder only spending something like $6.7 billion).That's a staggering amount of money, and due to a recent drop in consumer demand—the money individual US citizens spend on things like food and clothes and smartphones and cars and all the other things people buy—AI-related capex, spending by these massive US tech companies, has added more to GDP growth than consumer spending for the past two quarters.All the things all the people in the US bought over the past two quarters did not cost as much, in aggregate, as what these companies spent during the same period, on new and existing assets. That's pretty wild.And it's the consequence, partly, of the shift in these companies' focus from providing goods and services that relied heavily on people—salary and stock compensation, basically, which is not a capex expense, because its spent on employees, not stuff—to spending heavily on all that infrastructure that they believe will be required to help them compete with those other companies that are also frantically investing in the same.Whomever can built the biggest, baddest, most reliable and powerful data centers, and can get the AI-optimized chips to fill them, will have an advantage over their opponents in the new, developing tech world paradigm, it's thought, so they're pumping gobs of resources into exactly those sorts of assets, hoping to get ahead, build an insurmountable advantage, and put their competition out of business—or failing that, to establish themselves as the AI Coca-Cola, versus their opposition's AI Mr. Pip.Similar dynamics are playing out elsewhere, especially in China, where the market could reach a value approximating today's US AI market in 3-5 years, and several times that, up to $1.4 trillion, by 2030—though like all of these figures, it depends on how we choose to measure these sorts of things, including what counts as an AI company, and in China, several of their major AI players are heavily involved in automation, robotics, which itself is expected to be a $5 trillion industry in that country by 2050.Europe's market is comparably smaller, as is its overall tech industry, but the AI market is now just shy of 15% of its total tech sector, up from 12% in 2022, and AI startups are attracting about a quarter of all VC funding in the bloc right now—so they're starting from a less spendy start, but like pretty much everywhere the necessary knowledge and manufacturing base exists at the moment, the European AI market is growing a lot faster than anyone would have expected even just five years ago.And there are real-deal innovations coming out of this tech; these investments are flooding into AI companies because these technologies, this version of them, the generative AI stuff, has completely rewired the programming world, AI bots and agents helping coders achieve a lot more, faster, and non-coders make things they wouldn't have been able to build lacking these tools, imperfect as many of those tools are, under the hood.We're also seeing an explosion of other sorts of generated content, and the injection of these tools that make such content into Hollywood studios and consulting firms and government agencies, and everything in between, is causing equal parts panic and excitement, depending on whether you're one of the people who feels like they might be laid off soon, replaced by software, or if you're someone who profits from all those layoffs, and the payments from the companies that hope to save money by conducting them, replacing their comparably expensive employees with cheaper AI tools.Things have gotten so wild that Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg has started offering compensation packages ranging from $200 million to more than a billion dollars to top AI talent. Meta's AI spending is already massive, and could hit $72 billion this year, but the company has said it could hit $100 billion in 2026, while Microsoft's leadership suggested their 2025 spending of $30 billion could balloon to $120 billion in 2026.OpenAI recently offered their employees large bonuses, in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars range, to counter those sorts of overtures from the likes of Meta, but there's a lot of money flying around from all direction right now, much of it aimed at more AI infrastructure, or the relatively few people on the planet who understand this tech well enough to make a competitive difference in this industry.That's…a lot of money. There's just so much spending happening, so many resources sloshing around in this one space right now, and all this investment is predicated on the idea that AI will change everything, we're stepping into a new paradigm, and those who control the AI, will basically own the next game. So they're all trying to set things up so they win the next game, or at least have the best hand possible when it arrives.There have been increasingly loud arguments, made by long-time generative AI critics, but also, more recently, ardent AI boosters, that we might be running up against a wall of what these things can do for us; this version of the AI concept, at least.And these arguments got louder with OpenAI's release of their long-teased GPT-5 model, which some expected to be true AGI, human-grade, flexible, omni-capable intelligence, while others thought it might be a mono-focused superintelligence of some kind: the perfect coder, the perfect image generator, something like that.What users got was not that. It seems to be better at some things, still not great at others.This was an incredibly expensive model to produce—the training costs alone are estimated to be something like a half-billion dollars, and that's just a portion of the total costs of creating this sort of model—and what OpenAI served up, instead of something groundbreaking, was a slightly better, though in some ways seemingly the same or worse version of what everyone's been playing with for years, now.There's room for disagreement on this, as while there are some more objective tests for measuring models' capabilities, a lot of it is circumstantial, and depends, among other things, on what you're trying to do, how the systems are prompted, and so on.There's also something to be said for cost-reductions and other sorts of benefits of new models, beyond raw power and capability.But this thud of a launch for what was supposed to be a sea-changing system has led to the ringing of some alarm bells, industry watchers wondering if we might be careening toward a bubble, at a moment in which, again, this segment of the tech industry is contributing more to the US's GDP than all of consumer spending, combined.A bubble, to be clear, wouldn't mean the collapse of the US economy, or even these companies, necessarily. It would mean a lot of AI entities going under, a lot of invested money lost, and a lot of people who suddenly don't have jobs.Almost always there are a few players in these bubbly spaces that make it to the other side, though—eBay, for instance, survived the dotcom bubble intact, as did Amazon, PayPal, and Adobe, among many others.But the grand shakeout, the sifting for those that could survive a mammoth downturn, and the destruction of the rest, that's a tough moment for those directly connected to the bubble-popping industry, and those adjacent to it: the folks who feed the employees who are now laid off, the suppliers of the light switches that go in all the data centers, etc.There are ripple effects to this sort of bubble pop moment, then, and though such sifting might be long-term beneficial, because it maybe weeds out some of the dead-weight and makes things more efficient in that space five or ten years in the future, that won't help the folks who lose a lot of money when the industry shrinks, including those who have their money at banks that made bad bets, or insurance companies that did the same, with their customers resources.Everything's great for everyone when these sorts of high-risk, high-reward bets are paying out, but when the golden goose of huge anticipated future profits disappears, that shakeout leaves a lot of entities and people with emptier pockets.None of which suggests this is going to happen; there's a chance that we continue to see better and better models using the current, generative AI technology, or that some of these companies successfully pivot to another AI approach that bears better, next-step fruit, and things just keep getting more and more powerful and less and less expensive for everyone; that could theoretically lead to some pretty cool, broadly beneficial things.This sort of risk is lurking in the background of everything that's happening, though, and while upbeat marketing messages and predictions about how cool it will all be when the next-step tools arrive can keep things going for a while, even lacking major milestones that can be pointed at to justify those claims, at some point we'll probably need to see something really, truly different and novel, or the bottom could fall out, leaving those who were more careful tip-toeing into this collection of technologies looking less like they're being left behind, and more like they took smart precautions and made safe, reliable investments.Show Noteshttps://www.precedenceresearch.com/us-artificial-intelligence-markethttps://www.statista.com/outlook/tmo/artificial-intelligence/united-stateshttps://techcrunch.com/2024/12/23/ai-startups-attracted-25-of-europes-vc-funding/https://archive.is/20250809000924/https://www.theverge.com/command-line-newsletter/756561/openai-employees-bonus-sam-altman-ai-talent-warshttps://paulkedrosky.com/honey-ai-capex-ate-the-economy/https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/silicon-valley-ai-infrastructure-capex-cffe0431https://archive.is/20250809000924/https://www.theverge.com/command-line-newsletter/756561/openai-employees-bonus-sam-altman-ai-talent-warshttps://archive.is/20250808224658/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-08-07/tesla-disbands-dojo-supercomputer-team-in-blow-to-ai-efforthttps://fortune.com/2025/08/04/billionaire-anthropic-ceo-dario-amodei-ai-staffers-poaching-meta-mark-zuckerberg-100k-six-figure-salaries-openai-sam-altman/https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c1e02vx55wpohttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/business/dealbook/meta-microsoft-ai-spending-shares.htmlhttps://www.techrepublic.com/article/news-meta-billion-dollars-ai-poaching-failed/ This is a public episode.

Tesla's sales are falling across the globe—from the UK to China to California. So why did the board just hand Elon Musk a $29 billion pay package? In this video, we break down the contradictions at the heart of Tesla's current moment: collapsing demand, the Cybertruck debacle, the robotaxi fantasy, and a boardroom that seems more loyal to Musk than to shareholders.We'll explore:Why Tesla's fundamentals are weakeningHow Musk's pay compares to other CEOsThe governance crisis behind the headlinesWhether Tesla is still a growth company—or just a cult stockThis isn't just about one company. It's about how corporate governance is bending under the weight of celebrity, and what happens when hype outpaces performance.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC Ways To Support The Channel:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/patrickboyle
Send us a textStep into the shocking and brilliant world of Nikola Tesla in this deep-dive episode of The Days Grimm! Join hosts Brian Day and Thomas Grimm as they uncover the electrifying life of the man who arguably invented the modern world, from his fierce rivalry with Thomas Edison to the wild conspiracy theories that surround his work today.We explore Tesla's incredible mind, capable of visualizing complex inventions and running simulations entirely in his head. Discover the truth behind the "War of the Currents," where Tesla's Alternating Current (AC) battled Edison's Direct Current (DC) , a conflict that led Edison to publicly electrocute animals, including an elephant named Topsy, to "prove" AC was dangerous.Was Tesla's genius too much for the world? We discuss his partnership with J.P. Morgan , the ambitious Wardenclyffe Tower meant to provide free wireless energy to the world , and why it was ultimately abandoned. Plus, we delve into his other groundbreaking inventions, including the Tesla Coil, remote controls , and his successful attempt to wirelessly light 200 light bulbs from 25 miles away.Finally, we unpack the bizarre and fascinating aspects of Tesla's later life, from his peculiar romantic relationship with a pigeon to the persistent conspiracy theories involving a "death ray" and how his papers allegedly ended up in the hands of John G. Trump, Donald Trump's ancestor.What do you think is Tesla's most underrated invention?
