hi, when trying to call the .user function to lookup a user, like .user("elonmusk"), I get this error:

You currently have access to a subset of Twitter API v2 endpoints and limited v1.1 endpoints (e.g. media post, oauth) only. If you need access to this endpoint, you may need a different access level. You can learn more here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/product (Twitter::Error::Forbidden)

I would love an update to the gem that updats it to v2. I used this patch, but its very sus.
