How to solve Google Maps API code sample error (MIME type error)

"Failed to load module script: Expected a JavaScript module script but the server responded with a MIME type of "text/vnd.trolltech.linguist". Strict MIME type checking is enforced for module scripts per HTML spec."

Hello people! I am trying to deploy this code sample on netlify but I keep getting the above-mentioned error. How can I fix it? It obviously works on the Google documentation page and Stackblitz and JSfiddle but I can't make it work myself. I replaced the api key with my google api credentials but it doesn't make any difference.

function initialize() {
  const fenway = { lat: 42.345573, lng: -71.098326 };
  const map = new google.maps.Map(
    document.getElementById("map") as HTMLElement,
    {
      center: fenway,
      zoom: 14,
    }
  );
  const panorama = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(
    document.getElementById("pano") as HTMLElement,
    {
      position: fenway,
      pov: {
        heading: 34,
        pitch: 10,
      },
    }
  );

  map.setStreetView(panorama);
}

declare global {
  interface Window {
    initialize: () => void;
  }
}
window.initialize = initialize;

export {};
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Street View split-map-panes</title>
    <script src="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=default"></script>
    <!-- playground-hide -->
    <script>
      const process = { env: {} };
      process.env.GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY =
        "AIzaSyB41DRUbKWJHPxaFjMAwdrzWzbVKartNGg";
    </script>
    <!-- playground-hide-end -->

    <div id="map"></div>
    <div id="pano"></div>
