Why Nikolas Tesla was the greatest geek who ever lived
Tesla actually worked for Edison early in his career. Edison offered him to pay the modern equivalent of a million dollars to fix the problems he was having with his DC generators and motors. Tesla fixed Edison's machines and when he asked for the money he was promised, Edison laughed him off and has this to say: "Tesla, you don't understand our American humor." Edison is a good example of a non-geek operating in a geek space.
