Moreover, Hotz had spoken about his decision and move of working at Twitter. In a tweet, he said, “Some of the responses to the last tweet are odd. I’m an intern trying to improve search, whatever feelings you have about Twitter and Elon are not about me. Think it’s cool to get feedback. Not trying to get “free work” I just find this fun. Here to learn and improve things!”

Furthermore, regarding a ‘search query,’ he had come forward to welcome any coder or designer deeming to help him deal with the query. In a tweet, he said, “Not sure I have authority for this, but if amazing React coder/designer wants internship to help me fix search…or someone working@Twitter already. I want to type “from:” in the Search Twitter box and have it tokenize and autocomplete.”

Therefore, these instances further cement the fact that Hotz is working at Twitter. And only the future can be the evidence of how and what changes the platform gets to see.

Above all, Elon is also looking forward to welcoming creators to Twitter. While receiving a suggestion from Tesla investor Sawyer Merritt, Elon was interested in the idea of Twitter hosting content creators. Surprisingly, he also had a brief conversation with YouTube star MrBeast regarding the compensation.

While Elon stated about Twitter giving higher compensation to creators, once the development is enrolled, MrBeast stated his thoughts. He replied by saying, “Higher compensation will be hard, some YouTubers get $20+ rpms even after YouTube takes their cut. I’d be shocked if you crack that code.” Thus, it would be exciting to see how the future gets shaped for creators on Twitter.
