In 1915, a report by the Reuters Agency claimed a Nobel Prize for Tesla and Edison, but the news was soon debunked. The prize went to other scientists. Tesla's biographers claim neither Edison nor Tesla received the Nobel Prize because of their mutual hostility. Both sought to diminish each other's achievements and thus their right to the prize. Both declared above that they would not receive the prize if a competitor got it first, and they certainly did not share it.
