I am a college football coach. I do a lot of recruiting through my professional twitter account - its critical to my job. About a week ago it was hacked and the hacker changed my password as well as the email associated with the account. (Thank goodness that so far they've just been posting Crypto ads). X Support has only sent me automated emails basically saying they can't help me. What can I do?

A college football coach's professional X (Twitter) account was hacked, and despite reaching out to X Support, they received unhelpful automated responses, leaving them concerned about the impact on their job.
