as far as I've read about it, tesla wasn't "fired", J.P. Morgan just retreated from the Wardenclyffe Tower project; partially because Tesla bullshitted him about the real purpose of the build. Morgan wanted to have a transcontinental communication device for the money he invested, not an unproven "energy transmitter". Then, after years of intrusive attempts of Tesla to get more money, he completely quitted the financial relationship to Tesla. Source: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wardenclyffe_Tower
