Andrew Tate Greta Thunberg

Andrew Tate clashed with Greta Thunberg in a viral Twitter exchange that many believe the Swedish activist won.

[Tate rose to national prominence in 2016](https://www.newsweek.com/how-andrew-tate-went-big-brother-controversial-influencer-1735408) when he was kicked out of the U.K. It's against the will of God—it's disgusting." He said: "Whatever the temptation, Wikipedia vandalism is a very bad thing, so don't do it. "Of course Greta has her detractors, but hers isn't deliberate. I'm not sure she goes around trying to antagonize like Tate does. As of Thursday afternoon, Tate has not responded to the tweet or the supposed alteration to his Wikipedia page.

After teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg owned Tate on Twitter, he managed to fit a lot of bullshit into a very short clip.

After Tate tweeted a list of his car collection at her, bragging about his emissions, Thunberg shot back, encouraging Tate to “enlighten her” by sending the list to the email [email protected]. But not to worry, because the podcaster’s likes and retweets are full of other right-wing political pundits trying to explain why they think Thunberg’s response wasn’t funny. But beyond the Versace bathrobe and poor audio quality, Tate also manages to misrepresent climate change, Thunberg’s joke, and his entire political ethos. Before he was banned from most popular social media sites, Tate had amassed at least 4 million Instagram followers and close to 1 million subscribers on YouTube. For those who aren’t aware, Tate is a former kickboxer who used a failed reality television stint to switch to a career in content creation. It took Tate 10 hours to come up with a better comeback to Thunberg’s diss, and apparently the best he could do was a one-minute response video practically dripping in condescension.
