So...Elon Musk let Andrew Tate back on Twitter, and Tate promptly used it to reveal his whereabouts to authorities in Romania who then arrested him.
All because Greta Thunberg owned him so hard his little wee-wee fell off.
Do I have that right? Please say I have that right.
Community note
A spokesperson for Romania’s anti-organized crime agency refuted widespread claims that authorities were tipped off to Tate's location by a pizza box seen in a video Tate posted in response to climate activist Greta Thunberg: "Funny, but no."

Actually, I’m angry. I’m angry at the way Trump mocked masks, how his children refused to wear them even at the debate, how they’ve held rallies and put so many at risk, how reporters for the WH are now coming down with it. It’s a pattern of callous, gross negligence. I’m angry.

Greta Thunberg taking down Andrew Tate was almost as good as Andrew Tate taking himself down in that pathetic clapback attempt...which apparently revealed he was in the country, leading to his arrest by Romanian authorities for human trafficking. What a story.
Community note
Andrew Tate's Twitter interaction with Greta Thunberg played no role in the Romanian Police's arrest of Tate or their investigation into the allegations against Tate.

When I was a little boy, the Japanese military attacked Pearl Harbor. It was a surprise attack, and thousands of U.S. servicemembers perished. As a nation, we were stunned. And we vowed to strike back. Revenge was understandably on everyone’s mind, including many Americans of Japanese descent who opposed the emperor and were peaceful and law-abiding U.S. citizens and residents.
In its zeal to exact that revenge, however, the U.S. government overreacted, out of fear and bigotry. They targeted everyone who happened to look like the people who had carried out the attack. Those of us who had done nothing wrong were forced to pay the consequences for the decisions of others far away and disconnected from us. We were interned for years, in open-air prisons, while America went off to fight Japan, Germany and Italy.
It’s so important that we carry the lessons of the past through to today. Merely because one group commits atrocities and acts with depravity does not mean vast hundreds of thousands or even millions of others should be lumped together with them and made to suffer. We must never paint with the brush of justice and retaliation too broadly, or the toll of human suffering will rise immeasurably.
