I was listening to erb Tesla vs Edison and the last line directed at Edison "it's a shocking real story of a banker and you And if the people knew you stopped me from making power free They would curse the con Edison with every utility " I understand that the banker is reffering to JP Morgan who refused Tesla more funding after the initial 150k was not enough to build the wardenclyffe tower but did Edison have anything to do with its downfall?
So, right off the bat, what Tesla was proposing to do is impossible. It was a semi-reasonable thing for him to suggest, given the incomplete understanding of electromagnetics available at the turn of the 20th century. u/GrunkleCoffee has a good, brief summary about the physics of why it can't be done.
To answer the qustion in the post title, Edison had nothing to do with the failure of Wardenclyffe. Tesla scammed (imo) JP Morgan into giving him the initial funding for Wardenclyffe (he told him it's purpose was for long distance radio broadcasting). That was a cool thing to do, because fuck JP Morgan, but Tesla's promise to send a radio signal across the Atlantic within 8 months of receiving the money did not occur (and Marconi beat him to the punch on that, anyway). So Morgan, having seen no tangible results from what was a small side-investment, did not continue providing funds into a project that had already been superseded. Over the next few years, Tesla was able to get funds from additional sources, but never enough to finish the facilities. Eventually the project was abandoned as Tesla vanished from the public eye and began his descent into being a total crank who claimed to have built a death ray for the Allies to use in WW2 (which was, in fact, a box full of junk electonics that didn't do anything).
