They're trying to use the out that it was search bots, and not social media bots. Which is half true. But the social media bots also measurably dropped. Just look at the likes on Elon's tweets before and after. They dropped by half.

And the social media drop was noticeable elsewhere too. So yes, search bots did in fact drop AND social media bots did too.
