AI Verified I found the exact sentence reproduced and attributed to Aaron Levie in multiple sources tied to the April 16, 2026 X post: a republished Benzinga/Sahm Capital item shows the blockquote verbatim and credits “— Aaron Levie (@levie) April 16, 2026,” Tech Twitter’s mirror of Levie’s post repeats the same sentence under his account, and an independent newsletter quotes the same line as Levie’s. The wording matches the submitted quote aside from normal curly/straight apostrophe differences.
