This is something I've seen many people repeat, but I can't find a good source that backs this up. I've googled "Tesla Time Machine" and the top results are all borderline conspiracy sites. They all share the same story: In 1895, Tesla was found in a coffee shop, recovering from an electric shock delivered by one of his machines. Tesla then says, "I could see the past, present, and future all at the same time."
But of course there's no evidence (I could find) that story or quote ever took place. I have no idea how it even originated.
Is there any evidence Tesla wanted to make a time machine?
Given he was into weird science it's possible he wanted to make one. But that is very different than "oh he totally made one and saw it all".
He's the most modern version we have of a mad scientist which makes him rife for people making up legends about him.

Yeah, it's very probable that he wanted to make one, but where is the historical evidence that shows he did? Where did he say he's interested in experimenting with time and space?
