2. Thomas Edison

Tesla went on to study at the Polytechnic Institute in Graz, from which he withdrew and ended up working for the Continental Edison Company. The company was owned by a certain Thomas Edison, a pioneer in electricity who is widely considered to be Americas greatest ever scientist and inventor.

Despite working in the same field, the two did not get on with each other and would often disagree. It is thought that the reason the two were not awarded the Nobel prize together is because of the contempt they had for each other. After Edison died in 1931, Tesla even wrote a negative piece on him in the New York Times.
