I prefer water over koolaid.
Look at this quote, "Gravity is the curvature of space-time due to the dynamical imposition of a mass on the fabric of space-time itself."
a mass on the fabric
If there is a mass in space then it wouldn't be "resting on" some magical 2D fabric we can't observe or measure. They would both just float in space since gravity would be required to push the mass into the fabric to begin with (as explained previously yet not understood by you, ironically.) Not to mention other problems like no boundaries or anchors to hold the position of this "fabric" or having more than one plane contradicting each other on any other side of the mass.
And just because someone is a mathematician like Einstein doesn't mean they're immune to imagining crazy theories that have no basis in reality, especially with motivation like losing credibility or funding by abandoning their original claims. Instead, they desperately to find a solution in a dead end. And when one isn't found, they make something up and call it a theory as a safety net.
His theory is not hard to understand, especially for someone as brilliant, practical, and clear minded as Tesla.
