find_elements_by_css_selecto method has been deprecated in recent versions of Selenium. Instead, you should use the find_elements() method with the appropriate By class.

But even then, you cannot scrape because now you have to log in. And whenever you log in, twitter finds a way to detect that the requests are automated and blocks the requests.
