realistically, I think a lot of "Tesla is so well known" (in the context of modern era, not his own time)
Is less about the popular interest in Tesla, and more about the popular fascination with "Hey, did you know Edison was actually a villain?!" articles.
Not because of any hate towards Edison specially, just the popularity of a "history got it wrong, and the hero is actually the villain" article

outside the us tesla was and is well known and in europe, especially in eastern europe, he is tied to numerouw conspiracy theories since ages. This, plus most of the balkan nationalists trying to claim Tesla's origins are in their country.
