I'm facing same issue. The v2 api does not return email.
I think the problem is inside the social-providers/twitter.ts file.
They noted on line 14 that Twitter does not support email, but on line 147, it still returns an email value (which is null).
I think changing it to username might solve the problem.

// /src/social-providers/twitter.ts
// line 127
		async getUserInfo(token) {
			if (options.getUserInfo) {
				return options.getUserInfo(token);
			}
			const { data: profile, error } = await betterFetch<TwitterProfile>(
				"https://api.x.com/2/users/me?user.fields=profile_image_url",
				{
					method: "GET",
					headers: {
						Authorization: `Bearer ${token.accessToken}`,
					},
				},
			);
			if (error) {
				return null;
			}
			return {
				user: {
					id: profile.data.id,
					name: profile.data.name,
					//email: profile.data.email || null,
					email: profile.data.username,
					image: profile.data.profile_image_url,
					emailVerified: profile.data.verified || false,
				},
				data: profile,
			};
		},
