The reason is that Elon Musk got caught liking questionable content through the likes page.

It also makes it nearly impossible for independent researchers to uncover bot networks and AstroTurfing, just in time for fully automated AI propaganda.

"Huh, I hadn't really considered this [kinda racist when you think about it] view, but it's actually pretty popular [by bots] so maybe there's something to this!"
