Climate activist Greta Thunberg has made Twitter history by becoming the first woman to have two tweets with more than 3 million likes, both of which were directly roasting Andrew Tate.
The pair had taken part in what is probably the most unlikely social media beef of the year, which ended up with Tate being arrested in Romania.
It started with the former kickboxer reaching out to Thunberg by bragging about his collection of cars and the 'enormous emissions' they spew out.
He tweeted: "Hello @GretaThunberg I have 33 cars. My Bugatti has a w16 8.0L quad turbo. My TWO Ferrari 812 competizione have 6.5L v12s.

"This is just the start. Please provide your email address so I can send a complete list of my car collection and their respective enormous emissions."
But Thunberg came back at him with a tweet that now has over 3.7 million likes on Twitter.
She said: "Yes, please do enlighten me. Email me at smalld**[email protected]."
Obviously, Tate wasn't going to take that, so he posted a two-minute video to Twitter to insist that Thunberg had not managed to get under his skin.
In the video tweet, he tagged her, adding: ""Thank you for confirming via your email address that you have a small penis Greta Thunberg.
"The world was curious. And I do agree you should get a life."
During the two-minute clip, Tate can be heard asking someone off camera to bring him some pizza, which is plonked in front of him in shot.
From that, you can easily spot that the controversial social media star had ordered from Jerry's Pizza in Romania.
This led to Romanian prosecutors knowing Tate's whereabouts, ultimately allowing them to arrest him and his brother Tristan as part of a human trafficking investigation.
It was after these shocking events when Thunberg posted her second tweet, which has garnered over 3.2 million likes on Twitter in the past 24 hours.
It simply read: "This is what happens when you don’t recycle your pizza boxes."
Tate and his brother are due to be held in prison for 30 days after their arrest on 29 December.
The Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism (DIICOT) are heading up the investigations surrounding the Tate brothers.
In a statement, they said: "The prosecutors of the Directorate for the Investigation of Organized Crime and Terrorism - Central Structure together with police officers from the Bucharest Organized Crime Brigade implemented 5 home search warrants in a case in which investigations under the aspect of committing the crimes of constituting an organized criminal group, human trafficking and rape."
