Nikola Tesla invented the radio, not Marconi.

Quoting Morgan Freeman's character from the The Bucket List (2007):

“Truth is a guy named Nikola Tesla, patented the basic idea for the radio in 1896. Same idea Marconi used for his patent several years later. Tesla fought Marconi till the day he died in 1943. Same year the Supreme Court ruled, that Marconi’s patent was invalid recognizing Tesla as the inventor of the radio.”
