That's what I read too.

Hell, Pennsylvania flat-out ignored Alito's order to segregate ballots received after Nov. 3rd.

Actually, they said they would have heard it,but would not have granted relief.
“Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas indicated they would have allowed Texas to bring the case but said they would "not grant other relief." None of Trump's appointees indicated they saw any merit in the lawsuit.”

Not necessarily; it’s two different things. The lawsuit filed by the Texas AG specified the relief that was wanted (overturning 62 electoral votes). Alito and Thomas were willing to hear the case because they are of the opinion that any case brought by a state against another should be heard. It’s one thing to hear the case, but it sounds like they felt that the AG was asking for an unreasonable relief even if the injured party prevailed.
