2023-11-15 10:04:38 UTC - MISINFORMED_OR_POTENTIALLY_MISLEADING

This is complete nonsense; none of the ancient sources say this and it seems to have originated online. The two main ancient sources, Plutarch and Diodorus, both agree he lost his ability to speak. The latter specifically states his last words were "to the strongest." https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Diodorus_Siculus/17F*.html#note85 https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Plutarch/Lives/Alexander*/10.html

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1722599510176633135

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
