To claim that X did not happen (premise: the ‘tank man’ was not run over by tanks), therefore Y did not happen (conclusion: NOBODY was run over by tanks) is a logical fallacy https://www.britannica.com/topic/denial-of-the-antecedent Cases of civilians crushed by PLA tanks around "Tiananmen massacre" are well documented https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre https://www.theguardian.com/world/1999/jun/02/china.johngittings https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-why-is-the-army-shooting-people-tiananmen-in-1989-1999-and-200/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fang_Zheng https://www.amnesty.org.uk/china-1989-tiananmen-square-protests-demonstration-massacre

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/1885308598051545581

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.
