If Trump announces the US is at war, for most purposes in the short term (until congress steps in to assert their power) the US is at war. It is not a false alarm.
If twitter had some reason to believe that the tweet was a false alarm about going to war, and not an official announcement by the US military's commander in chief, that might be a reasonable to take. Perhaps if they also believed the account had been hacked or that a staffer had been duped into thinking that they were supposed to announce a war when they weren't. That's not the hypothetical situation here though.
