for the HN readers who aren't clued in to everything Elon Musk says over the last two years, i believe parent is referring to this tweet (AFAICT Elon deleted the original, hence screenshot): https://twitter.com/panoparker/status/1318157559266762752

"We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it." (2020/07/25) -- topic being a coup in Bolivia for their lithium.

i have no background in this situation. personally, i think it's a little ridiculous to allude to this sort of thing and just expect that readers know wtf you're talking about.
