“This isn’t just the end of a show,” Oprah stated during the emotional segment. “It’s the end of a chapter in my life. I’ve decided to leave the United States — permanently. I will not be coming back.”

While Oprah did not elaborate in great detail, she hinted at disillusionment with the direction of the country and referenced Elon Musk as a symbol of the larger cultural and technological shifts that she finds troubling. The show’s provocative title had already sparked conversation, but no one expected it to end so suddenly — or with such a bold personal decision.
