Elon Musk’s X Corp. Intervenes in Bankruptcy Case of Alex Jones’ Infowars with Surprise Filing
Attorneys for X Corp., the Elon Musk-founded firm that took over Twitter and rebranded it as X, have filed a notice of appearance in the bankruptcy case of Alex Jones and his Infowars platform.
On Thursday, The Onion purchased InfoWars at auction and plans to transform it into a satirical take on the iconic brand.
NBC News reported, “The Onion plans to shutter Jones’ InfoWars and rebuild the website featuring well-known internet humor writers and content creators, according to a person with knowledge of the sale.”
On the same day, a federal bankruptcy judge in Texas ordered an evidentiary hearing to scrutinize the transparency of the auction process.
Jones, in a video posted to X on Thursday, accused Connecticut Democrats and The Onion of orchestrating a backdoor deal to claim the platform. “They said, ‘It was competitive,’” Jones said.
“They changed all the bidding rules and made it secret two days ago. I had a bad feeling about this.”
