Everything worked fine until Elon Musk took over.

Amazing how still many of those developers post things like "Hey Elon Musk, something broke, please help us" rather than "Hey all, Elon Musk once again fucked with the system we're paying $42,000 / month to use, and there is nobody at Twitter we can even talk to".

Was bound to happen when average people started creating cults of personality around billionaires.

If you're willing to pay 42k then you're probably running a business and need to maintain a relationship with Twitter. Taking shots at their owner, regardless of how you feel about them, probably won't give you the outcome you want.

It's easy to do the right thing when you have nothing to lose. It's a different story when your job is on the line.
