How many kids does Elon have with how many women? How many drugs is he on? How many lies does he spread everyday on X? How many racist, xenophobic, sexist, antisemitic statements does he make each day. Also, he’s using government contracts and accounting tricks to hide how bad he is at managing.

On November 5, 2025, the Oregon GOP hosted it's annual gala event--the Reagan Dinner. One of the headline speakers was MMA star Chael Sonnen, who at the time was talking about running for governor as a Republican. Three months earlier, Chael bragged about how he was going to steal the election.
54:50 it's done. I have cheated an election and I know how to cheat an election. And the moment I found out that you could get away with this was the moment I found out I was going to be governor.
54:58 And I put the word out to all the other candidates. By the way, if you want to go waste your time and waste your money, go ahead. But I'm going to steal this election.
You've said I mean you're saying it now.
