Career
editPosting as El Hotzo, Hotz first reached public attention via his humorous and satirical tweets and Instagram posts.[4] His posts focus on social criticism and political satire.[5]
In response to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in July 2024, Hotz published tweets expressing sorrow that Trump was "unfortunately narrowly missed" and that he found it "absolutely fantastic when fascists die". Multiple criminal complaints were filed with the public prosecutor's office for publicly endorsing criminal conduct.[6] As a consequence, the Berlin broadcast network RBB ended his radio show.[7]
