Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla were good friends
Mark Twain loved hanging out and getting to know other luminaries of the day. He knew Alexander Graham Bell, for instance, and Thomas Edison had filmed him in his own house in 1909. No other than brilliant inventor Nikola Tesla, Twain and Tesla enjoyed one of their closest friendships. While the renowned inventor worked in the lab, Mark Twain spent hours hanging out with him. Even though they both put in a lot of effort and created, they also shifted their residences and extended absences outside of New York. That did not stop Mark Twain from inviting Tesla to his daughter Clara's wedding in the fall of 1909 (Clara Clemens, 1874–1962). That phone conversation served as a serious, unambiguous testament to the depth and enduring nature of their friendship. The historical records of their correspondence have been preserved and are housed in the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade.
Mark Twain and Nikola Tesla were close friends and fans of one another. Both Tesla, a renowned scientist, inventor, and discoverer, and Twain, a well-known author, traveler, and humorist, were genuine dreamers. During the time between the 19th and 20th centuries, two extremely well-known and distinguished individuals lived and worked as acquainted and friends for over twenty years. Despite having distinct artistic inclinations, they could still be excellent friends and socialize while appreciating and truly respecting one other's work and contributions. Several pieces of contact between these two giants were discovered in Tesla's legacy, which includes numerous archive records still in existence on both personal and technical issues, monographs, and serials. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the nature of their friendship, to highlight some of its details and highlight commonalities between the two of them, as well as to present newly saved documents and lesser-known details from the lives of two deserving individuals who, through their work and knowledge, we're attempting to build a better world.
