Great question! It’s super frustrating when a tweet vanishes, especially when you need it. Here’s what I’d recommend:
First, try the Twitter Advanced Search. You can filter by date, keywords, and accounts to narrow down the possibilities. Sometimes, even if a tweet is deleted, it might still show up in the search cache.
Next, check out the Wayback Machine (archive.org). It’s a digital archive of websites, and sometimes it captures tweets, especially from high-profile accounts. Just enter the Twitter profile URL and see if there are any snapshots around the time the tweet was posted.
Also, if you use any Twitter analytics tools, they might have cached the tweet content. Some third-party apps save tweet data for analysis purposes, which could be a goldmine for you.
Good luck digging up that tweet!
