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.

    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.
