Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg is winning the internet’s admiration yet again, but this time for taking another swipe at the controversial social media personality Andrew Tate over his arrest in Romania on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and forming an organised crime group.
Taking to Twitter, Ms Thunberg wrote, “This is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes” – in reference to reports that the Romanian police were tipped to Mr Tate’s location in Bucharest after he released a video of himself sitting beside a Jerry Pizza box.
Ms Thunberg’s tweet garnered over 506,000 likes and over 7.6 million views in just a few hours. “Greta, I don’t think the planet can handle anymore burning.” wrote one user. “Who needs fireworks to see in the new year when you have a public burning like this,” jokingly said another.
A third user simply commented, “Queen of the world!!!”
