Nikola Tesla vs Thomas Edison
The two were mortal enemies. The inventors both made many things but disagreed with each other.
Tesla said the day after Edison died: "If he had a needle to find in a haystack he would not stop to reason where it was most likely to be, but would proceed at once, with the feverish diligence of a bee, to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search. ... I was almost a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labour."
And Edison thought that Tesla's ideas were "splendid but utterly impractical."
