With 3.3 million “likes”, this Friday noon, he was in 7th position on the list, behind messages from Elon Musk or Barack Obama.
Asked by Andrew Tate, who displayed in photos his fortune and especially his dozens of thermal cars, Greta Thunberg had simply replied to him to go “buy a life”.
Not only did the tweet far exceed in popularity that of the controversial influencer (211,000 likes), whose Twitter account had recently been restored by Elon Musk, but it visibly brought bad luck to the British-American kickboxer and influencer.
This last was indeed arrested in Romania as part of an investigation for human trafficking, rape and formation of an organized criminal group. Stung by the response of the environmental activist, he had responded in a new video where a pizza box would have allowed his location.
In reality, the Romanian authorities had Andrew Tate and his brother in the sights for a while. Still, the episode allowed Greta Thunberg to improvise a new spade. “Here’s what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes,” she wrote.
Twitter’s most “liked” tweet remains announcement of death by actor Chadwick Boseman, star of the film Black Panther, which received 7 million “likes”.
