O Twitter is one of the most important social networks in the US. It is the privileged information channel for the political class and many of the largest institutions in the world, whether American or not. However, with the passage into the hands of Elon Musk, this means of communication has shown to have problems on several levels. As such, when it comes to searches, Musk hired legendary iPhone hacker 'Geohot' to fix this Twitter tool.
After laying off about two-thirds of Twitter's 7.500 employees in three weeks, the tycoon that owns the network began to form new teams and Geohot was a priority choice.
On November 16th, George Hotz, founder of Comma.ai and extraordinary hacker dedicated to jailbreak, commented on a leaked email from Elon Musk asking employees to commit to being part of a new hardcore Twitter, Twitte 2.0.
This is the attitude that builds amazing things. Let all people who do not desire greatness leave.
Hotz said.
Afterwards, the hacker offered to work for three months at the company for living expenses.
I'll put my money where my mouth is. I am doing a 12 week Twitter internship for cost of living in SF. It's not about accumulating capital in a dead world, it's about making the world alive.
Spiked the iPhone hacker.
BUT: MenosFios Office. Six alternative social networks if you want to leave Twitter
Now, to this challenge, Musk, who has already mentioned that tweet for him now it's work, did not fail to leave a reply. And in a tweet he said, "Sure, let's talk."
Sure, let's talk.

It looks like Hotz is going to work on fixing and improving Twitter search. In addition, other challenges will surely be posed when working with Musk, who promised a freer, cleaner social network with more tools.
Some features have already started to disappear and others are in limbo.
Twitter has been the scene of many unfavorable news and Musk is bringing back some controversial users, such as, for example, Donald Trump, the far-right US congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene or even the controversial Kanye West, who had been suspended due to his anti-Semitic statements.
