I know what you are thinking, a million bucks isn't much to a billionaire like Musk, but I think this is cool as hell anyway. :cool:

use his light bulb for the fair because Edison didn't get the contract.
So Nikola invested a new light bulb that uses gases to create colors.

The reason no one ever heard of Nikola Tesla is because...
