Tesla is a great example of how genius is not a generalizable thing. He is the reason most of us have electricity, but he was a mess when it come to understanding people.

I have heard accounts that his contributions are greatly exaggerated. He certainly did not invent AC electricity which I guess is why you assume that Tesla gave us electricity. See here for some more info https://youtu.be/6331JXvOUGY
