He bought some patents from him.
That would be George Westinghouse who paid him well and fairly.

Nikola Tesla invented AC, probably a transformer as well but don't quote that.
Nikola Tesla Also George Westinghouse (famous for invention and commercialization of ac current as electrical system vs. Edison's dc current - Westinghouse won that one!)
He emigrated from Croatia to the USA at the age of twenty-eight, where he worked first with Edison and then with George Westinghouse.
In the "War of Currents", George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison became adversaries due to Edison's promotion of direct current for electric power distribution over alternating current advocated by Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla. AC was and it is the best system.
He worked for edison.
Yes he did. In 1885 George Westinghouse, head of the Westinghouse Electric Company, bought the patent rights to Tesla's system of dynamos, transformers and motors. Westinghouse used Tesla's alternating current system to light the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893 in Chicago.
George Westinghouse invented a better way to deliver electricity to consumers in sweatshops and other jobs before and during the Great Depression. Westinghouse debated over the Alternative Current and the Direct Current with Thomas Edison.
Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse built the first hydro-electric power plant in 1895 in Niagara Falls and started the electrification of the world.
Nikola Tesla worked with Thomas Edison for a brief time, and then when on his own. He worked in his lab and made over 700 today products including the radio and AC electricity. He also started off with looking for some one to help him and that's when he met George Westinghouse.
