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.

    “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.
