Career
Posting as El Hotzo, Hotz first reached public attention via his humorous and satirical tweets and Instagram posts.
His posts focus on social criticism and political satire.
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". As a consequence, the Berlin broadcast network
RBB ended his radio show. In 2025, he was acquitted by a court in Berlin on charges of hate crimes and disturbing public peace related to the tweets.
