Elon says a lot of things, like last fall when he was crowing about how Twitter had the bot problem licked. Fast forward to today and bot spam is worse than ever before.

You can believe what you want. I choose to believe what I see with my eyes.

I’m not taking a side of whether Elon is right or wrong.

However, you mentioned that today is an admission that the bot problem is worse. However that not true, the restrictions are specifically on viewing data (scrapers) rather than creating data (bots).
