I've got to admit I have no idea how his experience is relevant to Twitter. But apparently he's working for free. (Well, cost of living in San Francisco, which is not nothing, but it's not gaining him financially.) I'm not surprised Elon is happy to hire someone of Hotz's fame and skill as an intern.
