The Earth is not flat. The screenshotted Musk tweet calling Earth "slightly flattishly round" is referring to the fact that the Earth is not a perfect sphere, but rather an "oblate spheroid" that flattens at the poles and widens at the equator. https://gisgeography.com/ellipsoid-oblate-spheroid-earth/

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/1649113569844232198
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.
