In that scenario a lawsuit would be the least of Twitter's problems. Best case scenario could easily be a treason charge.

US law only allows for treason charges during time of war.

I don't think that's true? Admittedly You could perhaps parse the statute[0] in a way that might imply it. But I think the point is that if you give aid and comfort to an enemy of the United States that you fall under the definition regardless of whether you are officially in a war or not.
