Steak-umm, the frozen cheesesteak brand, waged war with famous astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson on Twitter.
Over the past few years, Steak-umm has made a name for itself by making thoughtful social media posts despite being a corporate brand and on Monday night their social media manager took issue with Tyson’s latest tweet about science.

Steak-umm went on to crush NDT by calling him a clout chaser who posts nonsense all day for likes and retweets.
the irony of neil’s tweet is that by framing science itself as “true” he’s influencing people to be more skeptical of it in a time of unprecedented misinformation. science is an ever refining process to find truth, not a dogma. no matter his intent, this message isn’t helpful https://t.co/sf4zLm33Jm

nope. science itself isn't "true" it's a constantly refining process used to uncover truths based in material reality and that process is still full of misteaks. neil just posts ridiculous sound bites like this for clout and he has no respect for epistemology

Everyone wants to talk about Steak-Umm beefing with Neil DeGrasse Tyson; no one wants to talk about how 90% of homemade cheesesteaks would be better if people used Steak-Umms instead of fresh steaks. https://t.co/4mSEBfNM3B

I wanted to come at Neil for that tweet, but I am not as brave as these meat sheets. https://t.co/dxBwp6dO2n
