🤔 I see y'all sharing a meme of Nikola Tesla saying "Get my name off your cars, you nazis!" or something like that?

See, this is why knowing history is important.

Nikola Tesla was an anti-Black eugenecist. And it's a good thing for the world that he died broke, because rich eugenecists are worse.

Tesla was a fan of the forced sterilization happening in the USA, and believed that by 2100 mass eugenics would have "purified" the human race of all undesirables.

That's who you're capping for.

Shout out to everyone that's been a Nikola Tesla fan their entire lives, but is just learning this now.

And for those people that want to pretend that this was a long time ago...

Tesla died in 1943.

Joe Biden and Robert DeNiro were already born.

Eugenecist weirdo Nikola Tesla.
Lewis H. Latimer, the Black scientist that worked with both Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, working on both the light bulb and the telephone, but never getting properly recognized for either.  He was the Papa Nearest to their Jack Daniels.
Baby Robert de Niro with his dad, looking confidently at the camera. Even as a kid, his swag is undeniable.
