All four of you may remember Geohot, the infamous code junkie who cracked Sony’s console in what was – worryingly – a gigantic PlayStation news story circa 2009. He recently re-emerged as part of Elon Musk’s ongoing social media soap opera, when he was tasked with “fixing” Twitter by the real-life Tony Stark. He’s since quit his role after approximately a month.
George ‘Geohot’ Hotz ironically announced in a tweet that he’d resigned from the company as he “didn’t think there was any real impact I could make there”. He added that he “appreciated the opportunity” and is “still rooting for the success of Twitter 2.0”. He said he won’t do a public exit interview discussing his observations from within the company. And that’s it – that’s the story. Did you like it?
As you may know, Twitter has become a bit of a circus since Musk’s multi-billion dollar buyout of the company, culminating in a recent poll in which he asked users whether he should step aside as CEO. They obviously voted to boot him out, and he’s now confirmed he will depart “as soon as [he finds] someone foolish enough to take the job”.
Video games are great, guys!

The secret to a happier life is turning twitter off
Ah man. I’m old enough to remember the GeoHot saga from back in the day. Was exciting times!
Elon Musk is in no way a "real life Tony Stark." Stop saying that and contributing to his mythology and cult of personality.
@mechayakuza Trust me, it was written with extreme sarcasm.
@Kanji-Tatsumi maybe your advice is the best i dont believe it will get worse instead of better.
Twitter 2.0 man the way its now its 0.5 its a mess more adds and full of weird conspiracy theories.
But why is he even added Geohot he said there is nothing to improve why does it feel like such a mess now.
@KaijuKaiser He really is no Tony Stark he just is really good in buying up stuff well before he bought Twitter that is.
who really cares?
guy leaves a job.
happens all the time
Do you remember the recording games of yesteryear? 976-????
Literally enter any word you could spell on a rotary phone for mindless entertainment.
Now we have Twitter, owned by the biggest ***** since the insurrection. Can’t wait for the next chapter in The Life of Musk The Game.
Say what you will about Musk but if Twitter ends up gone as a result of him buying it...I'd say that's a net positive for humanity personally!😄
@Flaming_Kaiser Conspiracy theories? He exposed a bunch of conspiracy theories with proof. They’re not theories at this point, they’re proven to have happened.
Article is not quite correct - he only ever agreed to spend a month there from the start, which is what he did.
@get2sammyb I would edit that line, it doesn't read as sarcasm
Video games are great, guys!
@Jaz007
Things are "proven" all the time with false or misleading information.
Love the tony stark ref, suits him 👍
He did the right thing leaving. You can't fix that which is unfixable. I've been on Twitter since 2007 and it's gone from being a friendly Community to an absolute Cesspit now. It's a sinking ship it's inevitable and I look forward to the day that ship sinks to the bottom.
@mechayakuza It was obvious it was sarcasm lol
@RubyCarbuncle Twitter has been absolutely garbage for years, hence why I got off it about 3 years ago. The comments on pretty much every post show you how horrible people are, and that hasn’t changed.
So this guys a hacker and leaves his job after a month..more than enough time to place some back door,trojan horse code..i'd be worried if i was elon..
It’s quite impressive how quickly and unintentionally Musk has gone from annoying rich guy to most hated man in the world. It’s not like he had to put himself in that position. Now he just spends his time posting conspiracy theories on the platform that he literally owns, which is several layers of sad.
Idk why people even respond on twitter. I just read news reports and announcements on twitter and that's it
@Kanji-Tatsumi Just turn off social media generally, and the news. It's all designed to grab your attention, anger you, and ultimately monetize your free time.
@stvevan yeah, but this is the guy who's responsible for millions of PSN users getting banned after they jailbroke their PS3's.
I don't blame him thinking there's nothing he can do.... You can't possibly do anything when you have an ego maniac as the boss who does silly little polls and releases what he calls the "twitter files" that amounted to nothing more than a bad fart in an enclosed space. The guy has wrecked twitter but what I find really really odd is that people jump to his defense like he's a messiah (kinda like trump) when the dude has done nothing but throw money to get to where he's at. I just sit back and laugh now because Twitter is more like Parlour 2.0 haha.
@FatalBubbles Agreed.
Twitter is for absolute weirdos I have 4 thousand followers on instagram & not one of them has ever asked me if I use twitter. I don't know anyone who uses it. It's full of people with either no photos or a photo of a footballer or some other celebrity
Twitter is cool in a "so bad it's kinda fun" movie way.
You just eat popcorn and have one or two laughs.
'As you may know, Twitter has become a bit of a circus since Musk’s multi-billion dollar buyout of the company,' .. it's been abit of a circus since its inception lol
@RubyCarbuncle Sarcasm at its finest.
Musk is more Green Lantern than Iron Man.
@GuttyYZ Smartest comment I've read on here in a long, long time... It's the adult equivalent of watching cartoons all day.
@Northern_munkey Not all hackers are unethical. Most tech companies hire what's known as "ethical hackers". Don't think this guy cares enough to commit a federal offense. Hope not.
@tselliot i was being cynical..
@mrmartinrohr Not if you go by Twitter's discussion of them.
@Korgon He has quite a list of achievements going:
-Co-created the first digital wallet platform
-Built the first re-usable rocket to successfully land at sea
-Built the first successful brand of electric vehicles
-Ended Twitter.
I mean the first three achievements are ok I guess, but that last one, humanity believed to be impossible! That's the Nobel prize winner for 2022 right there.
@NEStalgia
For real! I know the guy rubs people the wrong way (personally, I have no problem with anyone pointing out the political nonsense that goes on behind the scenes no matter if it favors one party or the other but that's just me) but you can't deny the dude has accomplished quite a lot in his life like him or not.
@RubyCarbuncle
Twitter was never even a profitable company to begin with it was always a giant money blackhole. I'm sure all the higher ups laughed their way to the bank after Elon bought the company and are happy to be rid of that s---show.
"eLoN mUsK bAaAaAaAaD...."
I’m foolish enough to take the job. He needs someone experienced in damage control to reign in the company. I’m fine with him keeping the software division to himself.
No clue who he is, but glad he decided to bail from working there.
The Twitter documents are most interesting, it shows a huge censorship campaign by governments. That so few react and accept censorship at this level is absolutely terrifying. This “soap opera” should make people think…
It's humorous how people choose to believe only the narratives they like to hear. It's actually pretty amazing to me that we used to dream of there being multiple dimensions...but we failed to see that there was no need. Everyone's perspectives and how they see the world are so skewed and different from one another nowadays that we may as well all be living in different dimensions.
Removed - unconstructive feedback
A good thing about Elon Musk is his bird's songs in Cyberpunk 2077.
I can only think of this terrible thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iUvuaChDEg
@Kanji-Tatsumi The secret to a happier life is turning any social media off.

Trust me its best to always know what your partner is up to. My ex partner was acting shady by going to corners to pick up calls at odd hours. when i asked who she was on the phone with she told me its work related. I really wanted to find out myself by i had no access into her mobile phone. i reached out to this team hacker i met online through reviews hackerone975 at gm a1l c0m and they gave me full access into my partners phone remotely and from my phone i was able to view her whats app messages , text messages , face book messages , tinder , IG, call logs . my ex did not know all the time that i was watching her moves as she went to different hotels with men she met on tinder app
I just wanted to share this just incase anyone is in a situation where they don’t trust their partners anymore. There is no harm in wanting to know what your second half is into, it saves you from wasting more years of your life with people who do not deserve you. I will leave the hacker’s contacts below just incase anyone needs his services and assistance.
Just a mail to spyrecovery36 At g m ail com
Our doubts and worries are not just mere ideas and visions. Sometimes our intuitions are right but we make the mistake of shoving them aside and not believing they could be true. Some spouses are really great at hiding a lot and you can never know the truth if you don’t take the first step of finding out and clearing your doubts. If you don’t find out the truth, you will keep living in deception and living in a life of fairy tale while your partner keeps outsmarting and taking advantage of you. I never had the thought of hacking my spouse’s cell phone until I stumbled on an article online about a man who gave all his love to his wife only for him to be cheated on. I developed goosebumps and decided to give it a try. I quickly searched online for a hacker and I was lucky to stumble on good recommendations about: hack4techspy @gmail com.
Are you actually in search of a hacker that offers phone hack , crypto recovery, website hack and more. well i have tried so many hackers and got disappointed that's why i had to share this with everyone in need of such so they don't fall in as a victim to wrong hackers, i strongly recommend ( Spyremotehacker @gmail. Com) for all your legit hack services.
Tracking cellphones and getting an accurate report has been a bit worrisome, thanks to Rowe whose service helped me locate certain cellphones without breaking a sweat. His service made me know that the internet has become the most common method of cheating nowadays, either emotionally or physically. Taking a few extra steps in getting what would serve as proof for leaving a toxic relationship, to see who your spouse texts or chats with on social media isn’t a bad idea, I’d recommend you reach out to Hackerone975 @ gm ail com
I never anticipated to see Spytechacker reviews here, despite the fact that they once assisted me in hacking and spying on my husband's and kids' cell phones and devices, giving me access to all of their new and deleted messages as well as those from all of their social media platforms. hackerspytech @gmail com is very straightforward and upfront in their works, so it's wonderful that they receive all the recommendations like this, allowing many people who are searching for a very reputable and expert hacking business to learn about them . hackerspytech @gmail com is well-known for recovering digital assets from con artists and providing all kinds of hacking services.
few days ago I came online in search of a hacker that I could hire to do a spy job for me, it was very important so I needed a strong hacker for my job. I came across several reviews but I figured {{ hackerone975 at gm ail c om }} was well praised for doing similar jobs that I needed. I decided to give this hacker on google mail the job, he gave me 4 hours to wait for results and then he came in. I was more surprised when I was informed I could see everything like a website. I'm Grateful
