Space should be understood as the word it is, and thus, has no structure and can't be curved, except for the matter that fills it. The only way space could be curved is if you're not actually referring to space or applying additional properties and ambiguous concepts that don't relate to the base definition. So if you think space is structured or curved then what substance are you actually talking about? And if "space" is a "substance" then why not call it matter?
So I think Telsa used that word with the simplest most practical definition, and also why I agree with it, among other reasons like who he was and what he accomplished.
