So, in addition to the "haha lol get fucked Elon", it simultaneously feels a little shady for Google to immediately do this immediately after payment stops. Not saying it's a direct retaliation but it's a bad look all the same. There are a lot of sites that do shit exactly like what Musk is doing to Twitter, and they get put in results all the time. I've had to use add-ons to de-pintreat my results.
And just for the record, Elon musk is a dangerous idiot and he needs brought down in the most extravagant way possible. I'm not bringing this up in defense of his bullshit.
This is just how search engine works, if the page they try to access fails or doesn't host the content you are searching they first get demoted and eventually removed. Twitter is login only for several days now so it's pretty normal that this is happening and it's likely happening on other search engine too.
