Nikita Bier has been appointed as X's head of product after years of diligent effort and engagement with the platform. Having previously worked as a product manager at Meta, he expressed strong interest in the role since Elon Musk's acquisition of X. Bier's early outreach to Musk included a public tweet asking for the position. He emphasizes his commitment to the platform and plans to leverage his time on X to benefit its users. His entrepreneurial background includes founding and managing several social media applications.
"I've officially posted my way to the top. I'm joining @X as Head of Product. 𝕏 is the most important social network in the world. It's where internet culture originates and where the world's most influential people convene."
"While I already spend every waking hour on this app, I'll now be spending that time helping others unlock that same value..."
In April 2022, shortly after Musk took over X, Bier tweeted at Musk asking for the role: "@elonmusk Hire me to run Twitter as VP of Product." He believed "Twitter has the potential to be the leading messenger, groups app & content creation tool."
Bier, a former Meta product manager and cofounder of tbh and Gas, demonstrated persistence in seeking the head of product role at X, culminating in his recent appointment.
