Andrew Tate
The influencer and former kickboxer who went by Andrew Tate III has had a short yet storied career being an utter misogynist and peddler of advice on such excellent investments like crypto at his own “Hustler’s University.” He attracted young men feeling urges to let out their frustration and bigotry at women. Let’s not forget his kickboxing career ended, and his internet stardom began, when a video of him beating a woman with a belt circulated online.
He has been previously booted off Twitter in 2017 after he said rape victims “bear some responsibility” for their assualts. He had also made a slew of other homophobic and racist remarks on the platform. All this, of course, fell against Twitter’s policies.
According to a report from CNET, Tate was banned from Twitter for avoiding a previous ban. The ex-kickboxer had created multiple new accounts trying to avoid that earlier ban, which again, is blocked under Twitter’s policies. But for Musk, it seems horrible comments about rape victims don’t seem to stack up too high on the scale of misdeeds.
Hustler University is more akin to a multi-level-marketing scam than an actual course, according to a report from The Guardian. Twitter has pretty explicit rules about promoting financial scams, so any new post he makes promoting that service could be in violation of Twitter’s rules, if anyone’s left to care.
