The gloves are off.
Noted climate activist Greta Thunberg and former light-weight kickboxing champion Andrew Tate are in a Twitter war — and the Internet is gobbling it up.
The skirmish started yesterday when Tate tweeted a photo of himself standing next to his gas-guzzling Bugatti. Tagging Thunberg, he boasted about his 33 cars and wrote: “Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.”
Tate was banned from Twitter in 2017 but reinstated last month.
Hello @GretaThunberg
I have 33 cars.
My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad turbo.
My TWO Ferrari 812 competizione have 6.5L v12s.
This is just the start.
Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions. pic.twitter.com/ehhOBDQyYU

Thunberg responded the next day with a tweet questioning Tate’s manhood. She wrote, “yes, please do enlighten me,” sharing the fake email address: “[email protected].”

***Story Update***
Andrew Tate and his brother were arrested in Romania earlier today on charges related to sex trafficking, kidnapping, and rape, according to Romanian news outlet Liberatea.
According to the Daily Mail, the arrest today was set off by Tate’s tweet to Thunberg earlier this week, which may have tipped off his location.
Police raided his villa where the brothers had allegedly detained an American and Romanian woman against their will in April.
A video of the arrest was posted on Twitter.

After retiring from kickboxing, Tate made millions on various ventures, including allegedly setting up a webcam business in Romania.
Tate has previously told his followers that he moved to Romania because the police there were less likely to pursue sexual assault allegations against him.
This is a breaking story.
