I think his main issue is that he had no one to turn his inventions into parents and money makers. A man with him early on with the ac motor and a few other inventions died, and he never replaced him. He wasn't worried about money, needed someone to do it for him. Heck, Westinghouse got shamed into paying Tesla a pension, and he made them.
And the big trick on wireless power.. ...people won't invest unless/until they figure out how to charge.
