Summary
A Texas federal bankruptcy judge has ordered an evidentiary hearing to review the auction process that awarded Infowars to satire site The Onion, citing concerns about transparency.
Alex Jones, who owes $1.5 billion to Sandy Hook families, claims the process was “rigged” and expects the site to be returned to him.
Attorneys for Elon Musk’s X Corp. unexpectedly joined the case, with Jones suggesting Musk will play a key role.
Despite the sale proceeding, Jones resumed Infowars broadcasts, while The Onion plans to relaunch the platform as a satire in January. The hearing is set for next week.
Pardon any errors here (Cunningham’s law and all), I was a bit toasty while listening to the knowledge fight episode.
My favorite part of this whole thing is that he’s calling shenanigans because he knows that the high bid didn’t win. And Alex signed documents acknowledging there were other factors.
There were 2 bids. Just 2. And do you know what the high bid was? $3.5 million. That’s it. A paltry sum for his life’s work. The price of a McMansion in California.
Unfortunately I don’t think Alex has any rights on any money there
I just don’t like the non-zero chance that this somehow gets reversed once the Trump administration begins. Jones is a huge Trump supporter, and I could absolutely see him meddling in this case in whatever illegal-but-theyll-make-it-legal way he can. The outright bribery and corruption is on full display, and I absolutely could see Trump do this even if only to show everybody else the rewards they might receive if they get on board.
“I was told Elon is going to be very involved in this,” Jones said during a live broadcast on X. After Infowars was seized and the site shut down, Jones promptly began operating under the name and branding of a new venture, dubbed the Alex Jones Network, which streams on X.
That’s the reason, they’re using the media and courts as advertising to get it out there.
The sale will go thru and they’ll both make a big show about “the only place for the truth is X!”
Because everyone literally does forget about Truth Social till someone mentions it
But… Alex Jones lost his business because it wasn’t the truth, determined in a court of law.
This isn’t going anywhere. I listened to the recent Knowledge Fight episode, and he’s just being a whiny little baby about it, trying anything and everything to stop the sale of his company and assets.
Musk has too much power and overreach. He’s attending to every far right infant in existence making sure they keep spreading misinformation.
And nobody can or is willing to stop him
Masters are merely men, when the sun goes down.
Why would you say something so brave, yet true?
