I’d really like to see where you got that quote, because it’s complete bullshit. This story originally comes from Tesla’s autobiography:

The Manager had promised me fifty thousand dollars on the completion of this task but it turned out to be a practical joke.

But you see that? He never said it was Edison, just ‘The Manager’.

Btw in that same book Tesla calls Edison “a wonderful man”.
