    The assets will be sold at auction but do they hold any value after all this? Does anyone really WANT infowars.com at this point?

      I think whoever buys infowars(dot)com should donate it to Dan and Jordan of the Knowledge Fight Podcast. That would be the perfect way to end things.

            Sorry, I read it as they should be given the domain to do with as they please. I was suggesting what they should do with the domain.

            Adding URLs for context in a discussion is always good. The average reader is extremely lazy.

            Edit: the deleted reply said “I don’t care that you’re lazy.”

            So, username checks out, and way to prove that you’re definitely an effective communicator lmao.

          It would be a lot more work, but keeping the same design and covertly moving to factual content, and rewriting/debunking the existing garbage would be an interesting experiment.

          It might be useful to convert some of the conspiracy nuts that follow it already.

        I think Dan and Jordan should get all the emails addresses from Infowars’ mailing list and send out stackies full of carefully laid out dissections of Alex Jones’s show. Might actually get through to a few people.

        Jones should get a court-ordered ankle bracelet, and every time someone loads that website, it sends out a shock. Each shock should act as a reminder to all the misery he’s inflicted on so many people.

      I Do! I’d spend hundreds for it.

      Could do all sorts of things with it!
      Accept donations for all the groups Inforwars insulted or hurt in any way.
      For yucks, put up a poll for how terrible a person Alex Jones is.
      Add a form for recommendations on other fun things to with the site.

      If I had fewer scruples, I could probably run a pretty good scam for a while.

      How much do you think it’ll be to buy an Infowar?

      I’m sure that that’s plenty of physical equipment and maybe a few buildings owned by Infowars that someone will be interested in.

    The actual auction site: https://360assetadvisors.com/events/fssmh/

    Looks like they’re only breaking it down into three parts: Infowars the media company, Infowars the supplement store, and a pile of domain names. Production equipment might get sold as part of a separate auction.

    I’m not loving the NDA though - open auctions should get more value.

      That production equipment goes along with infowars the media company, I would assume. Unless it’s all, like, leased from someplace.

      Edit:

      INFOWARS (as a Package)
      • Production Rights & Materials
      • Domain Names
      • Social Media Accounts
      • Podcast Sites
      • Newsletter Subscribers
      • Production Equipment (Optional)**

      **Note that the option to bid on physical assets (i.e. production equipment) as part of this offering will only be as a bulk offering in combination with an Inforwars Intellectual Property bid. If the physical assets are not sold under this offering, they will be offered through a piecemeal auction currently scheduled for December 10.

      apparently the equipment does belong to infowars, it’s just the purchase at auction is only an optional part of the package. Otherwise, they’ll be sold off later.

      What could any part of Alex Jones possibly be worth? Even if you rendered him down, maybe a couple of bucks for the fat?

        Alex Jones is a professional grifter and he’d probably be able to take his audience with him. Just buy InfoWars whole and use it to spread facts and science instead

    Some jackass like Musk is gonna buy it at auction for the minimum they can get away with, and turn it into XInfoWars or something, and rehire Alex Jones because “truth is free” or some shit.

    There is 0 value in this as a media company, but it’s always been a conspiracy theorist grift. It being resold that’s really all it could be. Sadly, many in MAGA hats would love to keep the grift going.

    If Elon Musk was a good person, he would buy the site and turn it into a memorial page for the victims at Sandy Hook.

    But he is not a good person.
