Downtrodden and defamed in the US Tesla would learn that even his reputation in his homeland could not save him after Serbian bankers declined to fund him, while his old business partner, John Jacob Astor, still annoyed that Tesla had spent his eighteen ninety-nine loan researching terrestrial stationary waves instead of wireless lighting, politely refused to get involved.
