he was and asexual autistic weirdo that also happened to be maybe the greatest mind in modern history. Those types (not the genius part exactly) have really fukked up world views and will always gravitate towards things like the eugenicist movement and alt-right.
him as an actual man is a caricature built on some exaggerated but real virtues he stood for as a counterpoint to Edison being a ruthless and exploitative capitalist.

What is the context of the pic posted in OP?
Embarrassingly I know very little about Tesla. Any recommendations for good documentaries?
Tesla ethered Einstein on many occasions and its part of the reason why he was written out of history. Speaking on the Theory of Relativity:
"The theory, wraps all these errors and fallacies and clothes them in magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king. Its exponents are very brilliant men, but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists. Not a single one of the relativity propositions has been proved."
In a two horse race I know who I'd put my chips on.
Teslas concepts, ideas and knowledge of the underpinning of reality was far in advance of his peers and even us now. After all this is the guy who invented modern life as we know it and got almost none of the credit.
Another quote from the legend:
"The first time I changed the world, I was hailed as a visionary. The second time I was asked politely to retire. The world only tolerates one change at a time."
