well tesla's project was sponsored by jp morgan that had huge investments in copper cable industry at that time. when he found out that tesla is about to create wireless energy transmission technology he stopped the project, confiscated all his work and dismantled the tower. tesla was onto something, he was way ahead of his time. for over 100 years the monopolists have been hiding the technology that lets us harvest endless energy which is generated by our planet. the patent office is controlled by few wealthy magnates. they hold the key to technology that humankind once had but lost over 100000 years ago. see that michael tellinger video i posted - its braintwisting.
Indeed which is why I admit that Tesla must have been onto something and its a bit more legitimate to argue than a conspiracy theory
Although apparently it broke J.P. Morgan and his financiers as well but hard to tell which story is true.
From Wiki
In 1900, Morgan invested $150,000 in inventor Nikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower, a high power transatlantic wireless communication project. By 1903, Tesla had spent the initial investment without completing the project, and with Guglielmo Marconi already making regular transatlantic radio transmissions with far less expensive equipment, Morgan declined to fund Tesla any further. Tesla tried to generate more interest in Wardenclyffe by revealing its ability to transmit wireless electricity, but the loss of Morgan as a backer, and the 1903 "rich man's panic" on Wall Street, dried up any further investments
