An article claimed Springsteen was moving to Ireland, while De Niro would head to Tuscany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen and film producer Robert De Niro announced they were leaving the U.S. following the reelection of Donald Trump as president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rumor that singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen and film producer Robert De Niro said they were leaving the U.S. following President-elect Donald Trump\u2019s victory in the 2024 presidential election circulated online in November 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, on Nov. 17, 2024, the Facebook page The Patriots Network posted<\/a> (archived<\/a>) a meme featuring an image of Springsteen with text reading: \u201cBruce Springsteen is Leaving the US Alongwith [sic] Robert De Niro \u2018No Respect For Us Here.’\u201d That post had received around 16,000 reactions and 6,300 comments at the time of this writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a comment, an administrator for the page linked to an article<\/a> (archived<\/a>) providing further details about the claim. The article was dated Nov. 18 and appeared on SpaceXMania.com, a website affiliated with the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also on Nov. 17, the Facebook page SpaceX Fanclub posted<\/a> (archived<\/a>) a meme consisting of a collage of images of both Springsteen and De Niro, with text reading: \u201cBruce Springsteen, Robert De Niro Say Goodbye to the U.S, \u2018No Respect Here.’\u201d That post had received around 5,000 reactions and 2,700 comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An administrator for the SpaceX Fanclub page left a comment on the post linking to an article on the affiliated website Esspots.com<\/a> (archived<\/a>). That article, though not identical to the SpaceXMania.com one, was also dated Nov. 18 and included many of the same details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some readers seemed to interpret the rumor as a factual recounting of real-life events. For example, one Facebook user responded to the Patriots Network post by writing<\/a>: \u201cThe only request I have is that they have their citizenship canceled and they can never live in America again.\u201d In response to the SpaceX Fanclub post, a different Facebook user wrote<\/a>: \u201cLike they deserve respect. Good bye. Don\u2019t let the door hit you on your way out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there was no credible evidence<\/a> that either star had made any such announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather, the rumor about Springsteen and De Niro leaving the country originated with The Patriots Network<\/a> and SpaceX Fanclub<\/a> \u2014 Facebook accounts that, along with their affiliated websites SpaceXMania.com and Esspots.com, are part of a network that describes its output as being satirical in nature. The Patriots Network\u2019s info section stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Patriots Network is a Network of Satire and Parody affiliated with SpacexMania.com<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Similarly, SpaceX Fanclub\u2019s info section read:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We post SATIRE, nothing on this page is real.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The SpaceXMania.com and Esspots.com articles likewise both concluded with disclaimers stating:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

NOTE: This is SATIRE, It\u2019s Not True.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The fictional story spread weeks after Trump won the 2024 election, in which both Springsteen<\/a> and De Niro<\/a> publicly supported Democratic nominee Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019 presidential bid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both stars have previously made comments about leaving the country over politics. In 2020, Springsteen told<\/a> a reporter he might move to Australia if Trump was reelected. (Springsteen later clarified that he intended the comment as a joke.) Similarly, in 2016, when a reporter asked De Niro whether he would leave the U.S. if Trump became president, the film producer responded<\/a>: \u201cThat\u2019s a good question \u2014 I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there was no evidence that either Springsteen<\/a> or De Niro<\/a> made comments along the same lines regarding the 2024 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Patriots Network and SpaceX Fanclub Facebook pages, along with their associated websites, have a history<\/a> of making up stories<\/a> for shares and comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Snopes has addressed similar satirical claims about celebrities including Megan Rapinoe<\/a> and Taylor Swift<\/a> vowing to leave the U.S. over the 2024 election results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
