While frequently attributed to Nikola Tesla, there is no primary evidence (such as published writings, patents, or diaries) that he ever said or wrote this. It first appeared in popular culture long after his death and remains unverified by historians. https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla#Quotes

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/2001460714217836660
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.
