Alex Jones is trying to halt the sale of Infowars. Elon Musk's X just got involved in the case
At an emergency hearing this week, lawyers for the social media company appeared. They haven’t explained why.
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.
Elon musk will now bail out every nazi asshole in trouble.
Your tax dollars ar play
“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
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.
But... Alex Jones lost his business because it wasn't the truth, determined in a court of law.
Which would be a great point if we lived in a world where facts and laws mattered.
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.

There is a $2.5 million house in there. The McMansions seem to be trending more towards $5+ million.
Unfortunately I don't think Alex has any rights on any money there
He would care because the money would pay off debts, and if a lower bid was accepted, then less of that debt is paid off. However, apparently the families (the debt holders) agreed to forfeit part of that debt so The Onion's bid could be accepted.
As is often the case, your lawyers can file any paperwork to try to stop things. Doesn't mean it will go anywhere. It only delays the inevitable.
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.
This whole affair is a load of shit in every way. Jones doesn't deserve this treatment. The system wants their 100 pounds of flesh for him not being a good boy.
Care to elaborate? Everything I've ever heard about him makes it sound like he's a massive piece of shit. You buy his lies about Sandy Hook? Or think it's fine to make up whatever you want no matter who it hurts, and expect no consequences?
Look at the commenter's profile. It's a waste of time asking, you're only going to get back right-wing talking points or misinformation.

Steel_nomad fucks chickens. I have proof.
Why do you think he doesn't deserve to be punished for slander and libel against victims of a tragedy?
