What does Andrew Tate mean by the Matrix?

The Matrix movie trilogy has been a popular point of discussion in pop culture, especially among time theorists and science fiction fanatics. The main throughline within the series revolves around the idea that the real world is not real at all but a part of a simulation that is yet to be revealed.

According to the popular movie analysis website ScreenRant, the idea of the matrix is loosely derived from French sociologist Jean Baudrillard’s Simulacra and Simulation, which posits that reality, as we know it, is simply a simulation of what we understand as real, as the world is saturated with hyperreal imagery and symbolism - signs which are often larger than life.

According to Andrew Tate, if the matrix exists, he is insistent that it will soon be discovered and that he can take people into that deeper layer of reality. Tate propagates this new world by sharing 41 tenets by which it runs and claiming that "it will find you if you want it to."

Andrew Tate even claimed that the matrix tells us what they want us to believe and blames them for his arrest.
