Greta Thunberg seems to be adapting well to Twitter’s scathing climate.
The teenage environmental activist — who has netted 3.8 million followers on the social networking site since she joined in June 2018 — changed her Twitter bio to “Sharon” Friday in a riff on the game-show contestant who failed to recognize her.
The stumped guest on the BBC’s Celebrity Mastermind guessed “Sharon” when the host showed her a photo of Thunberg — who graced Time magazine covers a month earlier as its “person of the year” — causing a stir on Twitter.
“Our climate change global superstar will always be Sharon Thunberg to me from now on,” @WolfWhoWanders tweeted.
As of Saturday, Twitter users viewed video of the bewildered contestant, actress Amanda Henderson, giving the wrong answer 7 million times.
Thunberg’s response to the gaffe had social media suggesting Friday that she should add “comedian” to her bio.
“Greta Thunberg is even more of a hero after changing her Twitter profile name to Sharon,” @SaminSaad wrote.
It’s not the first time Thunberg has used her Twitter bio to clap back at critics.
When President Trump took a jab at her Time magazine cover and said she needed to “work on her anger management problem; then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend” she switched her profile description to say she was “a teenager working on her anger management problem. Currently chilling and watching a good old fashioned movie with a friend.”
