Elon Musk strongly believed in free speech and before he purchased Twitter, he has been a flag bearer of “free speech absolutist”. When he completed the $44 billion deal in October 2022, he ardently revamped the microblogging site. Musk went on a spree to fire his global employee force after incurring heavy losses. The billionaire also introduced the $7.99 monthly subscription for some exclusive features. But, he also went against the wave and reinstated certain banned accounts including that of Andrew Tate.
Elon Musk called Twitter the bedrock of democracy. So, in order to give another chance to some accounts, he restored them. This included Donald Trump, Andrew Tate, and Kanye West’s account. Donald Trump decided to continue to practice free speech on his platform “Truth Social”. Twitter banned the ‘Donda’ rapper. But, the former kickboxer rejoiced at his return to the platform. But, the platform aided the authorities in Romania to arrest him on December 30th, 2022. In response to his arrest, the new CEO has grilled Tate in a cryptic tweet.

Elon Musk Grills Andrew Tate Post His Arrest
Andrew Tate became an epitome of the phrase “digging one’s own grave!”. The Romanian authorities arrested him. On December 30th, 2022, the authorities arrested the suspects for running an organized crime group responsible for human trafficking.
Along with two locals, the Tate brothers lured women promising them marriage and relationship and then held them hostage in a house in Bucharest. They found victims who were held forcibly and made to participate in producing pornographic content.
The arrest story of Tate is one for the books! In the last week of December 2022, Andrew and the climate activist Greta Thunberg got involved in a virtual spat. Tate flaunted his car collections in a tweet. He boasted the features of some cars including a Buggati and Ferraris. Andrew asked her to provide her email address so he can send the list there.

Greta, in a cheeky manner, provided an email address indirectly calling his move a “small d***k energy”. Tate was infuriated, and he uploaded a response video. In the video, he was seen smoking a cigar and eating pizza. The pizza helped the authorities to confirm that he is in Romania. This led to his arrest. To this Elon Musk, taking a dig at him, tweeted, “Sometimes it’s just better to make pizza at home”.

The CEO Admired Greta Thunberg For Her Comeback
Andrew Tate, before getting reinstated, was banned in 2017 for his misogyny and toxic masculinity. The #MeToo movement inundated the social media platforms. Tate dissuaded the entire movement. He blamed the women who are at the receiving end to “bear some responsibility” for the assault. He received a major backlash, and he was banned from almost all the major platforms.

Greta made a sharp suggestion hinting at his video due to which he was arrested. She wrote, “this is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes”. The new CEO of Twitter has been an admirer of the climate activist. When a satire account Babylon Bee posted an article titled ‘New Greta Thunberg Thermostat Scowls At You When You Turn The Heat Up’. Musk replied to the article saying, “sheer amount of brand awareness achieved by Greta within a few years is astounding”. He added, “I think she’s cool tbh”.
