    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
