Elon Musk SLAMS Jane Fonda’s dramatic return to the U.S., mocking her plan to “raise a RUCKUS” after abandoning the country amid growing backlash

Jane Fonda’s latest move has set off a firestorm—again. After leaving the country and delivering a fiery goodbye speech filled with emotional pleas and pointed criticism, Fonda now says she’s heading back to “raise a ruckus.” But Elon Musk wasn’t impressed. In a sharp online jab, Musk questioned her motives, hinting at hypocrisy and attention-seeking theatrics. Is this the return of a bold activist—or just another Hollywood spectacle gone too far?

Jane Fonda is heading back to the United States with a renewed sense of purpose.

The 87-year-old actress and lifelong activist wrapped up a headline tour of Australia this weekend, appearing in sold-out events in Melbourne and Sydney as part of the Wanderlust True North Series. Before leaving, Fonda made it clear that her next destination is a political battle back home.

 

 

“I love Australia, but it’s hard to be here and watch what’s happening in my country, my city, my state,” Fonda said Sunday in an interview with The Daily Telegraph. “I go home tomorrow and I’ll just go home and raise a ruckus.”

Fonda, who has long used her platform to push for social change, didn’t hold back during her time Down Under. In a candid Q&A session in Melbourne, reportedly part of a $300,000 appearance, the Book Club and Grace and Frankie star lit into former U.S. President Donald Trump, referring to him as “that f—–r” to a visibly stunned audience of over 1,000 women.

Her impassioned speech turned into a rallying cry.

“F–k those neoliberals and fascists and people who don’t move to love,” Fonda declared. “We have to move to love and empathy.”

The Oscar winner’s remarks touched on the broader political climate in the United States, particularly the deepening divide and widespread discontent.

“In the United States, 78 million people voted for Trump — not all of them MAGA,” she said.

“But working-class people are really hurting in the United States, men and women. They’re going to have buyer’s regret very soon about voting the way they did.”

Known as “Hanoi Jane” since her Vietnam War-era activism, Fonda proudly reflected on her continued protests, including several arrests in her 80s during climate demonstrations.

“It feels so good to be arrested,” she told the crowd.

“People who do things that are stupid, bad, cruel, and hostile, like the people running my government now, they’re not bad people, they’re unwell.”

The Hollywood icon, born to screen legend Henry Fonda in 1937 and sister to the late Peter Fonda, assured her Australian supporters that her fight is far from over.
