Not long ago, the world arose to a shiny pic of Andrew Tate sitting inside a private aircraft. Reportedly he was on his way to convey thanks to the man who terminated his social media exile. Elon Musk did what he had to do when he took over the reins of Twitter. In November, he sought Twitterati’s opinion on whether banned accounts should receive a ‘general amnesty.’ And reportedly, based on the poll’s outcome, the reinstatement of Donald Trump, Jordan Peterson, Kanye West, and of course, Andrew Tate’s accounts got going.

UFC commentator and podcaster Joe Rogan had Dave Portnoy, the head of Barstool Sports as the guest in the latest episode of his eponymous podcast, ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. It didn’t take time for the duo to reach the latest updates on Andrew Tate. His return to Twitter and, of course, the latest controversy surrounding him. In particular, the recent Twitter spat involving Tate seems to have convinced Rogan that the decision to unban the former was the right course of action.

Tate mocked Thunberg by saying, “Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions.”

He tweeted the number of cars in his collection and the details of two models.

But it was the response from Thunberg that stole the limelight. Inviting Tate to ‘enlighten’ her, share shared a fake email address.

Now visibly irked, Andrew Tate released a video mocking Thunberg on Thursday, 29th December. Reportedly it was this video that got him arrested. Tate asks for a pizza box in the video, saying he won’t recycle it. But the Pizza box revenge reportedly betrayed his whereabouts.

It appears that Romania’s Organized Crime and Terrorism Directorate had been waiting for Andrew and his brother Tristan. The pizza box in the video was from a popular Romanian chain, Jerry’s Pizza. Thus, with his presence in the country confirmed, they took the duo into custody.

The awesome response Joe Rogan can’t help but gush over

A lot of people on Twitter think what Thunberg said was brilliant. Joe Rogan, for sure, couldn’t help but rave over the youngster’s clever remark. Clarifying his stand on the social media bans, he gave Greta Thunberg’s example. He said that the format whereby she gave a befitting reply to public taunts paves the way for open discussions and is one of the best alternatives.

He said, “I think this exchange with Greta Thunberg is a perfect example of how to counteract that. Yeah, like she just mocks him and then he gets arrested and she has the f*****g tweet of the year making fun of his arrest. Yeah, and a f*****g perfect one-liner that’s what happens if you don’t recycle your pizza box, yeah right it’s a genius…”
