X's $1M article contest: Noah Epstein lands $100K honorable mention for Clawdbot piece

Creator Noah Epstein shared that 7 months after X's $1M Article Contest, the official X Creators team messaged him: while there was a single grand prize winner, his article "What Is Clawdbot? (And Why People Are Losing Their Minds)" stood out strongly and earned an Honorable Mention with a $100,000 reward. He says he'll do something smart with it — investing in people who lack capital rather than just handing out cash — and jokes about whether it should just go into a meme coin.
