Notice that the price graph is on a logarithmic scale, which in combination with the seemingly positive "linear" 12-year trendline can give the false impression of a strong upward trend. The volatility of the Bitcoin price is much more clear when graphed on a linear scale: https://www.google.com/finance/quote/BTC-usd?window=MAX

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/1695114553384948095

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.
