Every time somebody says Twitter isn't working, it is always working for me when I try it. I can only attribute this to Twitter is an absolute mess, and as a non-member of that service, I can tell you that some very old content is "available" to the public, while most content they keep non-members like me blocked from seeing it or interacting with it. So it's gotta be that. Because whatever I am allowed by Elon to see on his little site (which all seems to pre-date his taking over of the site for some reason), I can always embed with no problem.

Just twitter being twitter.

You can see Twitter works here: https://vimeo.com/1019874504

But that's an old tweet. It constantly seems like anything after Muskrat took over is anybody's guess, since he is actively censoring, shadow banning and manipulating the content on that platform. As I mentioned above, as a non-Twitter subscriber myself, a lot of their post Elon content is simply banned from viewing without joining the platform. meaning, it's unreliable content that your users may or may not see, and may or may not be embeddable. It's a shady platform in disarray.

TLDR: Tweets may or may not work. It's Elon's fault. This extension is functioning correctly. Embed tweets at your own "risk"

Either way its the same. I just did it that way in my video because thats the only way I can actually get a link to something on Twitter to show as a demo.
