I'm pretty sure the page is just plain gone because otherwise https://twemoji.x.com would work and it doesn't

For the twemoji.js file or its derivatives, knowing that twemoji.maxcdn.com is down, the value of the twemoji.base variable can be temporarily replaced by https://raw.githubusercontent.com/twitter/twemoji/master/assets/

Here's the archive page by Internet Archive: Twemoji - https://web.archive.org/web/20220214094446/https://twemoji.twitter.com/

I suspect it's unlikely the website will be recovered since the official Twitter account for OSS was also deleted https://twitter.com/TwitterOSS and X Corp. seems to have abandoned the open-source development.¹

However, the latest Twemoji fork is still actively maintained and updated by former Twitter designers and Discord/WordPress designers on the fork repository here: https://github.com/jdecked/twemoji

They offer the GitHub pages and the updated (it has a new emoji copy feature) preview gallery too:

• Twitter Emoji (Twemoji) - https://jdecked.github.io/twemoji/
• Twitter Emoji (Twemoji) Preview - https://jdecked.github.io/twemoji/v/latest/preview-svg.html

For reference, this article briefly explains the recent development of Twemoji:
