Former professional kickboxer and social media influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan Tate were arrested in Romania on Thursday on suspicion of human trafficking, rape and forming an organized criminal group.

On Friday, a Romanian court extended her detention by 30 days, Reuters reports.

Prosecutors said the Tate brothers had been under criminal investigation since April and claimed authorities had found six women who had sexually exploited the suspects.

In the midst of Tate’s arrest Twitter CEO Elon Musk tweeted a meme with a picture of Keanu Reeves in the movie The Matrix.

One of Musk’s followers tweeted that he knows Tate and went to one of his sex parties.

Musk replied and said he had never met Tate before.

After his arrest, Tate blamed the Matrix for arresting him.

Tate previously said he believes we live in a computerized matrix where people are programmed to work until they die, the Daily Mail reports.

“We live in a matrix because the machines use our body heat, our effort and our ingenuity,” the Daily Mail quoted Tate as saying on the Real Talk with Zuby podcast.

Tate had previously been banned from Twitter until Musk reinstated him back on the social media platform on November 17th.
