Websites such as FlightRadar only show aircraft transmitting on Mode-S, ADS-B, TIS-B, ADS-C. If an aircraft is not visible, it doesn't mean it is flying with the transponder off, but rather it is using other transponder modes like Mode-3C which is picked up only by ATC radars. https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/whats-this-plane-doing-answering-recent-frequently-asked-questions/

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/1726402360119881977
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.
