Apart from the mainstream banter these two were having, Trevor Noah suddenly jumped into the conversation. The South African comedian thinks that Thunberg should now take on Salt Bae.

What happened to Andrew Tate? How did Salt Bae get involved?

This entire saga started when Andrew Tate posted a tweet explaining how much gas his cars emit. Tate also tagged Thunberg in that tweet. The purpose of this tweet was just to trigger Greta Thunberg. The Swedish activist replied to this tweet by mocking Tate. She replied to the tweet and stated a vulgar email id.

Tate then replied to that tweet with a 2-minute video. Soon after that, Tate was arrested as he unknowingly revealed his location through the pizza boxes in the video. Thunberg then shut the conversation by saying, “this is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes”.

This is when Trevor Noah steps in. Noah posted a tweet that said, “Now we just need Greta to take care of Salt Bae…”. One of the fans replied to that by saying, “Forget Salt Bae. She needs to take care of Piers Morgan”.

Let’s have a look at how the other fans reacted to Noah’s tweet.

The Turkish Butcher ran straight to Lionel Messi. Salt Bae was continuously pulling the Argentine’s hand, forcing him to take a picture. However, the Argentine legend showed no interest. Messi then finally obliged and posed for a picture.
