Andrew Tate is one of those controversial characters whose existence we would have had no idea if social networks hadn’t provided him with channels to toss his toxic and misogynistic ideas: a kickboxer with a discreet career, his fame is essentially due his presence on the British edition of Big Brother, for the episodes of gender-based violence that have marked his career, but above all for his incel and conspiracy militancy. His defense of Harvey Weinstein and the idea that the responsibility for rape is also the responsibility of the victims earned him tremendous criticism, although it was his incitement to hatred that eventually earned him rejection from every existing platform he participated in was involved. : You Tube, Tik Tok and Meta (i.e. Facebook and Instagram) have not allowed you to access it since August. Twitter has also blocked him on multiple occasions, although he has always managed to return: once (2021) for managing to infiltrate a covert advertising campaign for the Bugatti car company.
It has since been off the grid, now owned by Elon Musk, who allowed it again last November. He has seized the opportunity to continue seeking notoriety, using the same misogynist and misogynist discourse that has always characterized him. With his latest big viral move, which once again clearly looks like a publicity stunt between two car brands, the debater seems to have thought: What better target than environmental activist Greta Thunberg is there to kill two birds with one stone? What happened is that shot backfired.

Tate specifically reached out to Thunberg to say, “Hi Greta Thunberg. I have 33 cars. My Bugatti has a Turbo 16 8.0L [en referencia al enorme gasto de combustible que genera]. Both of my Ferrari 812 Competizione have 6.5L v12s. [lo mismo]. This is just the beginning. Please give me an email address so I can send you a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.
To which she replied just hours later: “Yes, please enlighten me. Send me all the information to energíadepenepequeño@búscatelavida.com”
Greta’s response came as an absolute shock to the social network, where she has racked up 51,000 retweets and 200,000 likes in less than an hour. The former kickboxer has had the global impact the car brands he promotes were aiming for, but not in the way he expected.
