    What are you on about?!

    Tesla died a poor man 4 years before bell labs created the first transistor.

    The microchip was invented about 15 years after he died.

    Perhaps he would have understood or even created these concepts if he had the funding he probably should have given his remarkable successes and contributions to the entire field of electrical engineering when he was still able to contribute. But unlikely sure. Not why you sre saying these weird things

      Why would he have understood those concepts before they were invented just because people gave him money?

        He was not able to effectively continue to experiment and research. Because he may have worked with some of the people who worked on those projects, or at least had a connection to them, and also he may have lived a hell of a lot longer if he wasnt poor. Its not good for your health

        So if he didnt get screwed over the way he did he would have lived differently.

        Also a concept can exist decades before it is proven.

        Dude had a brilliant mind and was a genius. Money allows you to persue the things you want in a way that being poor simply does not allow.

        Is this really something you needed explained?

          “He was a genius” does not equal “he would have invented something that hadn’t been invented yet if he had the money to do so.”

          Do you even have any evidence that he was working along those lines?

            I said perhaps understand the concept, not invent it. So no i dont have any evidence for something i never claimed.

            Wtf is wrong with you.

              Okay, sure. He might have understood the concept of genetics too. But he didn’t, so that’s not relevant.
