CTOnews.com, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) @ George Hotz (nicknamed Geohot), the talented young hacker famous for breaking iPhone 3GS and PS3, has joined Twitter at Musk's invitation, and he has promised Musk that he will fix Twitter's "shaky" search function within 12 weeks.

CTOnews.com learned that Geohot shot to fame when he first cracked Apple's proud iPhone in 2008 and was sued by Sony a year later for cracking PlayStation 3 again, but the two sides settled out of court. Now, Hotz has agreed to join Twitter as a "temporary worker".

In fact, Geohot has been busy with all kinds of work in the years since becoming famous, such as joining Facebook in June 2011 for mystery work, joining Google in July 2014 to participate in the Project Zero project, and now gradually starting its own business, known as Comma AI, and launching its autopilot system Comma One.

At this point, I have to mention that Musk offered him a multimillion-dollar contract to develop autopilot software for Tesla in 2015, but Geohot finally refused, and the two had a fight.

However, after Musk took over Twitter, he went on a layoff spree and asked his remaining employees to work overtime, so George Hotz said publicly last week that he could work for the company for three months, and that "it's not about money, it's about keeping the world alive." Musk is very pleased.

He also tweeted about the job he promised Musk to fix "a search function that thousands of people can't handle for months," but he didn't disclose his salary for the past three months.

Then he began his work.

However, he also encountered a lot of problems in the process, such as the front-end code problems, so he had to post for help on how to change react.

In addition, he also showed the search function based on open source code, which shows that he is really working hard for Musk. As for the final result, we may have to wait 11 weeks before we can see it.
