Elliot Ikilei said Andrew Tate is "awesome" and "useful for many young men"

Andrew Tate is a self proclaimed misogynist influencer who is currently arrested and is in US custody for allegations including rape, human trafficking, and tax evasion.

He would best be described as far-right adjacent.

Primarily his misogyny would be his central message. Male domination and female submission with a mix of racism and homophobia. He does this through his influence withing the "manosphere". Online spaces focused on men's issues and opposition to feminism, parts of which have grown increasingly extreme and close to the far right, drawing on racist conspiracy theories.

Hope Not Hate's research has found far-right conspiracy theories and antisemitism circulating among his followers and associates, including references to "Great Reset"-style conspiracy narratives.

This is the person Elliot Ikilei thinks is "awesome" and "useful for many young men".
