That's quite an overstatement. Tachyons are consistent with SR, though they have never been reproducibly observed. They are inconsistent with GR and the expectation that the Cauchy problem of GR should be solvable, but that is far from a "proof".
The history of physics shows that people who claim "X will never be discovered" are wrong far more often than they are right....
