In a matter of hours, Thunberg's barb went viral with over a million likes and hundreds of thousands of retweets. Many people applauded her for firing at Tate, who has become known online for his "Alpha male" aesthetic and ridiculing of other people.
The writer and commentator Owen Jones said that Andrew Tate would be known as "that guy who got absolutely wrecked by Greta Thunberg on Twitter".
There was a contingent of people who argued the dig was problematic in nature, using the phrase "small dick energy" as an insult to put down men.
The narratives feed into patriarchal notions of femininity and are anti-feminist according to various articles.
Many people who appeared to support her called out her choice of phrase and the way in which these comments were normalized. Others argued that it shouldn't be seen as body-shaming.
Tate replied "How dare you!".
Hasan Piker, a political commentator, replied to Tate's response that it was "wild" that he was beefing with teens instead of adults.
She has clapped back at high-profile figures who have criticized her on social media. She changed her bio to make fun of Donald Trump's suggestion. She used the same tactic in response to the negative comments made about her by other people.
Before Musk took over the company, Tate was banned from the site. In the summer of 2022, clips of him making misogynistic remarks were reshared on social media.
