Andrew Tate, the British-American influencer known for courting controversy, has sparked yet another online feud—this time targeting U.S. millionaire Bryan Johnson. Tate posted a scathing critique on social media, mocking people who pursue age-reversal strategies and using homophobic slurs in the process. While he didn’t name Johnson outright, his comments were widely interpreted as an attack on the tech CEO, who is well-known for his rigorous anti-aging regimen.
Tate’s Post Stirs Controversy
On X (formerly Twitter), Tate launched into a tirade about “biological age” enthusiasts, ridiculing their practices and questioning their toughness. His post read:
“So many f**s who are afraid to enter the cage talk about biological age – ‘age hacking,’ various forms of gay. Taking 100 pills and sitting in cold water. ‘Oh, my biological age is 25.’ Really? Go fight then. You can’t. In real competition, your age shows. Gay and fake. Plus you’re a coward anyway.”
The post quickly drew backlash for its offensive language and tone, reigniting discussions about Tate’s controversial persona.
Johnson Claps Back
Bryan Johnson, famous for his meticulous health protocols to reverse aging, responded with humor and grace. Tagging Tate in a reply, he quipped:
“I take 40 pills a day, and my biological age makes me underage.”
Johnson also posted a follow-up, sharing the exchange and adding, “Can someone explain to me why Andrew Tate has a beef with me? I’m just over here doing my thing.”
The Internet Reacts
The exchange set social media abuzz, with opinions split. Some users defended Johnson’s commitment to health and innovation, while others sided with Tate’s critique of modern wellness trends.
One supporter of Johnson wrote, “He’s jealous of you. But since this game is all about engagement, think of it as good PR.”
Another chimed in, “Bryan’s legacy will help humans. Tate’s won’t. And why does he always sh*t talk?”
Others, however, found merit in Tate’s comments. One user remarked, “He does have a point. What you’re doing is worthless if you’re not fit to defend yourself in combat.”
Speculations on Tate’s Intentions
While some viewed Tate’s comments as a genuine critique, others suggested his motivations were more performative. One user speculated, “He’s just trolling and having fun. He doesn’t have a beef with you. He’s using you as an object to represent ‘trying too hard.’ His belief system is primal—raw power, stimulants, dominance. It’s his schtick.”
Some users encouraged Johnson to expand his approach to wellness by incorporating more physical training.
“He’s challenging you to follow in Zuck’s footsteps and train combat or at least functional fitness over metrics and models,” one user advised, referencing Mark Zuckerberg’s foray into mixed martial arts.
The spat has opened up larger debates about health, fitness, and the societal value of age-reversal science. While Tate’s comments were divisive, they have brought attention to the contrast between traditional ideals of physical strength and modern biohacking pursuits. Whether the exchange was a serious critique or just another moment of online drama, it has certainly got people talking.
