    First, put them in an arena and make them fight to the death. Last one standing gets to rule their new planet. Ticket sales fund the single-seat rocket that’s sending them there.

      I’d normally put money on Musk, since he’s the youngest and likely most in shape, but Putin would likely cheat his way to victory. Also, Trump would be the first one “out.”

    Full vid of her final words: https://youtu.be/lfLKHY52ERc

    Picking through the video transcript and I cannot find that anywhere.

    Probably hated by the tankies now though LMAO

    I’m beginning to think this is engineered rage-bait and in no way indicative of the views of a celebrated ecologist.

      Snopes has it listed at around the 15 minute mark in Goodall’s episode of Netflix’s “Famous Last Words”.

      Along with Musk would be Trump. And some of Trump’s real supporters. And then I would put Putin in there. And I would put President Xi. I’d certainly put Netanyahu in there and his far-right government. Put them all on that spaceship and send them off.

      Oh it’s in there

      https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/jane-goodall-trump-quote/

      Claim: Jane Goodall, famed conservationist and chimpanzee researcher, said in a posthumously released interview that she’d like to put Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Benjamin Netanyahu “on one of Musk’s spaceships and send them all off to the planet he’s sure he’s going to discover.”

      The quote is correctly attributed to Goodall and was featured in the premiere episode of the Netflix series “Famous Last Words,” which debuted on Oct. 3, 2025, days after her death.

      This was the full context of the quote in question:

      BRAD FALCHUK: You’re always on mission.

      JANE GOODALL: I’m always on mission, yeah. Even when I’m really tired. I mean, that’s what I’m on this planet for. I truly believe that.

      FALCHUK: And I think it’s important as people turn to you to say, “What’s the fight? Where’s the battle? Where should we look? What should we do?” Identifying who the people who… who the battle is against, I think it’s important. Do you have people that you don’t like?

      GOODALL: Absolutely there are people I don’t like. And I would like to put them on one of Musk’s spaceships and send them all off to the planet he’s sure he’s going to discover.

      FALCHUK: Would he be… would he be one of them?

      GOODALL: Oh, absolutely. He’d be the host. And you can imagine who I’d put on that spaceship.

      FALCHUK: Who?

      GOODALL: Along with Musk would be Trump. And some of Trump’s real supporters. And then I would put Putin in there. And I would put President Xi. I’d certainly put Netanyahu in there and his far-right government. Put them all on that spaceship and send them off.

        I’d be okay with crash landing it on the moon, it might be cheaper.

        But then again, it would be a shame to deny her last wishes.

          Lol right? Though the most expensive part of space travel is just breaking orbit, once beyond that fuel usage drops significantly

    The impact of all of them being sent off would be seen except for Xi, nothing would change as the Chinese government is not influenced or controlled by the rich. Another Xi would take over, it’s not a dynasty or a cult, we can say what we want about them but their system will outlive western capitalist neofeudalism. In the end what those at the top want is the same, they want to control us and the only real difference between capitalism and comunism is who sits at the top. Though capitalism has become its own biggest enemy that will wipe out billions of lives while the Chinese government sits by and watches, they have a far more resilient system now while we let greed destroy us. Also never forget it was the Regan administration that essentially made China what it is by allowing American corporations to make more money by outsourcing manufacturing.
