We know nothing about these things. What IS gravity? What IS inertia & momentum? Why does general relativity not work unless we put our finger on the scale with dark matter? Why does our planet have an active electromagnetic field while many others in our solar system do not? How do the UFOs move around without "leaving something behind"?
The assumption is always that, since we exist later in time than people from the past, we know more than them. What if most of our science is true enough to mostly work, but otherwise designed to cover up the real truth?
There is obviously great incentive to do this, since Tesla tech as it was theorized to work would set humankind free, forever.

See what I said about Tesla being a showman.
Tesla lived for decades after JP Morgan cut off his funding.
If he had something that worked he could have just written out exactly what he was talking about. He could have left that to anybody. He could have sold that.
The energy that Tesla was talking about wirelessly transmitting would still need to be generated. The Tesla plant had giant generators And he still had to pay for the fuel to generate that electricity
You're assuming his opponents were nonviolent. What if they blackmailed him with pedo shit like they still do today? What if they threatened someone dear to him if he ever spilled the beans? What if they needed his help to come up with all the fake science we're so proud of today, that perfectly covers up his discoveries?
Oh, the "what ifs"? What if they cast spells and summoned demons to haunt his dreams and cripple his fingers? Dreaming up imponderables is no answer to anything. What he actually came up with (e.g., alternating current power generation and transmission) was totally successful. There is no "fake science" of today. He had no "opponents." They realized that without anything working on the table, his ideas and claims were only speculations. You like to think he was held back. The reality is that he wasn't strong enough to make the jump.
Gravity has been well-described since Isaac Newton (maybe not well-explained; it is a work in progress). Inertia and momentum are well-defined in any beginning physics class. General Relativity may not work because it involves flawed logic (like the so-called "equivalence principle"). Geomagnetic fields are thought to require molten planetary cores by which a dynamo is generated by convection currents. Some planets or moons seem not to have them. Others have them very strongly. We don't even know if UFOs are "something."
I agree that knowledge can be lost. We have no idea how to make "Greek Fire," for instance. And there are plenty of examples of modern technology that has come and gone, for which we no longer have the knowledge of its construction (such as 16-inch naval cannon). Our science works. It's not designed to "cover up" anything. The very expression is incoherent.
Nothing sets humankind free from humankind. If you had a credit card with a billion-dollar limit, how would you live? As though you were "free"? You don't seem to appreciate what we have, or how huge even small improvements are when you are close to poverty.
Newtonian physics do not accurately predict gravity, never mind explain what it is. We similarly understand what effect inertia and momentum have in a given physics problem, but again we do not know what they are. Why do these phenomena exist?
General relativity scales better, but it still breaks down at the extremes, and thus still doesn’t accurately explain how gravity works. And again, it doesn’t explain what gravity is, why does this phenomenon exist? Its explanations require us to just fudge the numbers and assume that there is extra mass which can’t be observed.
Our science works well enough for our current purposes, but it always breaks down at some extreme or another. A grand unified theory still escapes us. It did not escape Tesla, electricity is key to understanding all these phenomena as well as understanding the ways in which GR and newtonian physics break down.
For example, take inertia and momentum. Imagine that the universe is infinite or at least exceedingly large, and that gravity operates instantaneously and across infinite distance. Inertia is thus the cumulative effect of the gravity of the entire universe operating on a given body, which requires energy to overcome. An object pushed in one direction is thus falling towards one side of the universe and stopping it requires energy as well.
As for what gravity is, it’s electric attraction, the cumulative effect of the electrical charge of every atom in a given physics problem. GR breaks down at the extreme because mass alone doesn’t predict how much pull a given object will have on another: there exist bodies that pull harder and bodies that hardly pull at all. No need for dark matter, no need for black holes.
Yes, Tesla tech could completely free people from our open air prison. It would enable someone to go off to a remote wilderness and generate all the power needed to power a small community and grow plenty of food. It also enables one to “melt” and levitate rocks and other materials like the ancients used to, freeing one from needing a society to provide building materials. Understanding why we’re stuck to the surface of the earth with gravity enables one to move against the gravitational field without “leaving something behind,” it’s pure electric propulsion and could easily send a man to Mars or beyond. This is why we are living in “the matrix” as far as scientific knowledge goes. If we could leave how would they keep us as cattle?
We now know way more about electromagnetism than Tesla did in his day.
If what he was proposing was technically successful, it would be built by now and companies would be using it the world over.
Tesla was a great showman and he's a great story, but he wasn't infallible
