John Jacob Astor IV only funded Tesla's experiments in Colorado in 1899, but he had been beaten to the punch (intercontinental transmission of a radio message) by Marconi. Tesla then obtained funding by J.P. Morgan for his experiments at Wardenclyffe from 1901 to 1905, being discontinued by lack of progress and lack of funds. The site was sold in 1915 and the works were demolished by the new owner as being a nuisance to real estate development. Astor dying on the Titanic in 1912 made no difference to this timeline.
There is no demonstrated evidence that Tesla had anything workable.
This is a very mainstream official narrative about Tesla is completely bunk. JP Morgan is rumored to have said "IF we send power wirelessly, where do you put the meter?" Do you think he was going to tell the newspapers, and journalist the truth about why it was discontinued? Fake news just as prevalent back then as it is today, actually easier back then because there was no internet.
Undoubtedly, Morgan discontinued funding because Tesla was making no progress (duh). And there is the legitimate problem as to how such a technology (if possible) would be economically viable. Free power! But who pays for the generator, the fuel, and the transmitter? (The rumored statement is patently stupid. The proper place for any meter would be at any receiver, just like the electric meters we have today. Morgan would know that.)
The timeline is factual and not bunk. Your only attempt at a disproof is a rumor. You have yet to prove he actually said it, so you have no right to make any inferences from it. Fake news is only fake if it is shown to be fake, and you haven't shown anything. All you have is paranoid suspicion and prejudice.
No progress? Where do you get that from? What makes you think he was making "No Progress" because JP morgan said so. That's like taking the word of Bill Gates.
Because he made no progress. What progress was there? He was trying to communicate radio messages from one continent to another, and was beaten to the punch by Marconi. Even after Marconi, he was still unable to do it. J.P. Morgan didn't need to say anything. He just stopped writing checks.
Or, you tell me what progress. From 1905 to 1907, Tesla had suspended work, and then his debts caught up with him and he had to sell the property. Who is lying, exactly? You are pretty free to cover up faults and shortcomings with "everybody else is lying."
