The Onion Acquires Infowars in Controversial Auction

The satirical news outlet plans to transform Alex Jones' platform into a parody site, despite legal challenges and claims of auction irregularities.

Infowars, previously owned by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, has been acquired by The Onion in a bankruptcy auction.
The Onion, in partnership with Sandy Hook families, won the bid to relaunch Infowars as a satirical website.
Alex Jones has claimed the auction was 'rigged,' and legal proceedings are ongoing to address transparency concerns.
Elon Musk's X Corp. has filed a notice of appearance in the case, adding an unexpected twist to the proceedings.
The Onion plans to finalize the sale in an upcoming court hearing, with Everytown for Gun Safety as the sole advertiser.
