Since Elon Musk bought Twitter things have turned out… badly to say the least. From his terrible idea of charging $8 for a verified account which ended up in randos impersonating brands in the platform, to wanting to charge $20 per month for already verified Twitter accounts, people are just completely confused.
While reports suggest that he is already searching for a replacement, the billionaire still does whatever he wants with the platform and not only users are very confused about it, seems like employees are too.
In case you forgot: Twitter could become the new OnlyFans
That wasn’t working…
In case you were not aware, Musk hired the well know Phone jailbreaker and PlayStation 3 hacker, George Hotz to “fix” Twitter. He was hired as an intern for a 12-week period but ultimately after a month, he resigned.
He mentioned that while he appreciated the opportunity, there wasn’t a lot to do there, at least not something really impactful, also his GitHub was drying out so, he preferred to go back to coding independently.
Also in the comments, someone asked if he regretted something while working on Twitter, to which he replied that, no, and that he was still rooting for the success of Twitter 2.0.
After a couple of days in another Tweet, he explained a little more about the reason why he quit:
Seems like Hotz was expecting to work with a smaller team and suddenly he found himself in a team of more than 50 people with clashing ideas and somewhat archaic processes, which at some point is “normal” for a big platform. At the end of the day, he preferred to go back to what he does better and probably focus on his own start-up comma.ai, so hopefully, things will go well for both sides.
