Original Note:
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/
