Andrew Tate's explosive return to mainstream social media hit a sticky patch in December 2022, when the influencer and self-help guru with a taste for high-end sports cars decided to take on one of environmentalism's biggest voices: Greta Thunberg.
Thunberg herself is a hugely popular internet presence, having proven herself to be an effective activist in the fight against climate change. She is also divisive, with many internet users on the right taking issue with her environmentalist message and her methods of activism. And in typical fashion, Tate decided to gain some engagement by trolling Thunberg, tweeting at the environmentalist to inform her that he owns 33 cars, and naming some of the models. "Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions[,]" Tate tweeted, in an obvious instance of trolling.
Thunberg, however, was ready with a response. "yes, please do enlighten me," she tweeted. "email me at smalld***energy@getalife.com[.]" The comeback prompted widespread hilarity on the social media platform, seemingly much to Tate's annoyance. He replied simply: "How dare you," but by then the damage was done. With more than 3.5 million likes, Thunberg's clap back became one of the most-liked tweets of all time, as of 2023, humiliating Tate in front of his followers.
