ChudTheBuilder is finally breaking his silence on his future following the court trial. For anyone wondering what's next for the controversial streamer, whose real name is Dalton Eatherly, his recent comments will shock you.

Chud recently took to X and revealed his plans:

"People keep asking where does Chud go from here. Seems obvious to me, my only option is to dive head first into politics. They want to silence me for a reason. They know the power of my voice."

In May 2026, Chud received widespread media attention after he was involved in a shooting outside a courthouse in Clarksville, Tennessee. This resulted in Eatherly being arrested on charges of aggravated assault and attempted murder. A Nashville Judge revoked his bond in June 2026. But ChudTheBuilder was released from jail on August 10 after 10 bail bond companies each posted and fulfilled his reported $1 million bond.

Now that Chud is out on bond, he has shared his plans for the future, which include a move into politics and a 'season two' of his streaming.

More on this in our story.


ChudTheBuilder wants to enter politics

While Eatherly is currently out on bond, his case is moving through the Tennessee legal system and the streamer is awaiting trial. Reportedly, Chud is under strict house arrest conditions, including a gag order, and is required to wear an ankle monitor. Amidst these restrictions, ChudTheBuilder is already planning his next move in streaming and politics.

The streamer recently shared on X that he wishes to join politics. In a separate video circulating on X, Chud can be heard saying that he plans on 'fixing' the 'flawed' political system in an interview:

"I would love to see a future where the political system that may be slightly flawed is worked on. I would love to be part of fixing that."

Additionally, ChudTheBuilder shared a video on his X on August 31 and declared a 'season two' of his streaming. With a Monster Energy drink and cigar in his hand, Chud revealed that he plans to continue streaming via Pump.fun. While the controversial streamer was banned from Kick in early 2026, he revealed his streaming plans for the future:

"I wanted to come and just officially break the silence, how about that? There's so many confused n*****s out there, they're chimping out... 'He's not allowed on social media, I thought his bond was revoked, he's goin' right back?!' Keep ch*mping out, guys. Just know, season two... coming very soon to a blockchain near you."

Pump.fun is a platform that allows users to launch memecoins and broadcast their content. ChudTheBuilder even mentioned his memecoin ($CHUD) in the video, promising his fans that he will return with more content soon:

"Only on Pump.fun, streaming on $CHUD coin. Stay tuned."

With ChudTheBuilder's legal case moving forward, the streamer has not unveiled an official return date to streaming. However, his recent posts about entering politics and a new era of streaming on another platform suggest that he is determined to return to the spotlight once his legal case wraps up.
