Elon Musk’s alleged involvement in the controversial Infowars sale adds a new twist to Alex Jones’ ongoing legal saga. Elon Musk’s lawyers reportedly intervened in the Infowars sale to The Onion. A federal judge questioned the transparency of the auction process. Musk’s Alleged Intervention Alex Jones, the controversial Infowars host, claims that Elon Musk’s legal team intervened in a planned transaction to sell Infowars to The Onion. Jones describes this intervention as “the cavalry is here,” expressing hope amidst his current legal battles. The sale of Infowars, currently being overseen as part of Jones’ bankruptcy proceedings, was backed by the families of Sandy Hook victims after their substantial $1.4 billion court win against Jones. Federal Judge Christopher M. Lopez has raised concerns about the secretive nature of the bidding process, which gave Jones a glimmer of hope for reclaiming Infowars. Musk’s involvement is seen by Jones as crucial in his efforts to regain control over his platform. Legal Developments and Reactions Lawyers representing Elon Musk’s company X filed a notice in Jones’ bankruptcy case. Though their interest is noted, specific reasons for it remain undisclosed. Meanwhile, Jones has praised Musk as a staunch defender of freedom, alongside expressing belief that former President Donald Trump is also concerned by this unfolding saga. An Infowars host, Harrison Smith, connected the involvement of Musk and Trump to implications for personal Twitter accounts. Alex Jones confirms that the highest bid for InfoWars at the Federal Auction was not accepted and they chose the lower bid from The Onion instead, likely to make sure he wouldn’t retain control. This shows it’s not about helping the Sandy Hook families, it’s about punishment. pic.twitter.com/ADZx0xfuPR — Autism Capital (@AutismCapital) November 14, 2024 The Onion, known for its satirical content, plans to relaunch Infowars as a parody platform, aimed at mocking conspiracy theorists like Jones. Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion, expressed readiness to finalize the sale, despite the ongoing controversy and legal hurdles. Judge Lopez underlined the necessity for transparency in the auction process, which Jones has heavily criticized as a “private, secret sale” and even labeled it a “bankruptcy crime.” BREAKING: The judge overseeing Alex Jones's Infowars case just ordered a hearing into how the Onion won the bidding after Alex's lawyers alleged that the trustee overseeing the auction rigged it at the last minute to allow the Onion to win What they're doing to Jones is… pic.twitter.com/TQpek74EV6 — George (@BehizyTweets) November 14, 2024 Alex Jones’ Position Jones’ economic troubles stem from the defamation lawsuits following his false claims about the Sandy Hook massacre. The auction of Infowars is part of Jones’ bankruptcy proceedings, aimed at settling these legal debts. Despite these pressures, Jones remains optimistic about Musk’s involvement, whom he believes understands critical fundamentals that could benefit the future of Infowars. The Onion has yet to disclose the purchase price for Infowars, which encompasses not just the media platform but also its studio and associated diet supplement business. These developments indicate a crucial phase in Jones’s protracted legal and financial controversies.
