Context: The CIA intern picked the wrong tweet to unleash the bot farm on. It's totally natural to talk about Iran in some tweet about El Salvador.

Didn't Elon say he was going to get rid of bots on twitter?

Not CIA bots, that's for damn sure.

There's always the possibility that his purchase was subsidized to do exactly this kind of shit with less oversight. It kind of makes sense when you consider the stuff he was whining about to get out of the deal, just him projecting onto the existing platform what the CIA offering him a bailout was saying. Do we know where Elon gets his drugs?

The ability to generate accounts with backdated history and registration dates even. Just bake the CIA microservice right into the platform, why not? Probably not really that intimate a relationship, but it's not out of the realm of possibility.
