"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, Goodall tells interviewer Brad Falchuk during the revelatory 55-minute special discussing her life, work and legacy. Would Musk, the SpaceX founder and Trump ally with a penchant for apparent Nazi-style salutes and firing thousands of federal workers, be among them, Falchuk wanted to know."
"Oh, absolutely. He'd be the host. You can imagine who I'd put on that spaceship. Along with Musk would be Trump and some of Trump's real supporters, she said. And then I would put [Russian president Vladimir] Putin in there, and I would put [China's] President Xi. I'd certainly put [Israeli prime minister Benjamin] Netanyahu in there and his far-right government. Put them all on that spaceship and send them off."
Jane Goodall proposed sending aggressive world leaders on a one-way space voyage, naming Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Benjamin Netanyahu among those to remove. Goodall linked the proposal to lifetime studies of chimpanzee alpha-male aggression and drew parallels between human dominance displays and chimpanzee competition and swaggering. Goodall previously compared Donald Trump to a competitive male chimpanzee that projects greater size and aggression to intimidate rivals. Goodall included some of Trump's supporters and members of far-right governments as part of those to be removed. The proposal envisioned using Musk's spacecraft to transport those figures off Earth.
