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 dont think so in this case. Texas judge was the first one to find him guilty by default. Even Texas Supremem Court slapped down his argument that the suit was not valid. They do not seem to want to play ball with his bullshit.
