Elon Musk Hires iPhone Hacker, Tesla Rival To Fix Twitter's Search via insideevs.com
At the time, Hotz claimed his technology could outperform Autopilot and he set out with Comma.ai to do just that. Currently, Comma.ai offers a $1,999 driver assistance system developer kit, which is compatible with over 200 vehicles. Interestingly, Hotz took a step away from Comma.ai just weeks before the announcement of plans to help out at Twitter, saying in a lengthy blog post that he was “taking some time away” from the company.
The deal was uniquely worked out between Hotz and Musk over Twitter, in which Hotz offered to do a 12-week internship for the cost of living in San Francisco.search, Hotz is up to the hefty secondary task of “trying to get rid of that nondismissable login pop up after you scroll a little bit.” Hotz later added in the thread that, even if he only got rid of the pop-up, he would “still consider [his] internship a win.
Hotz also reached out to Tesla’s former AI Director Andrej Karpathy asking if he wanted to help with the Twitter search project, saying “there’s a lot of low hanging fruit…” In response, Karpathy noted that he uses “site: https://twitter.com/” on Google to search Twitter, adding that it “works quite well.”
The news comes amidst active recruiting at Twitter for both engineering and sales roles. It’s not entirely clear why long-time rivals Musk and Hotz are teaming up together now, but it’s possible it may lead to more than a 12-week internship — especially if he can fix Twitter search during that time after all.
