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

        Tyler sold his soap to department stores at $20 a bar. Lord knows what they charged. It was beautiful. We were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them.

    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.

      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.

          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.

      Right wing grifters would. Insane alt right freaks have a positive association with the website. As long as the new owners don’t run their mouth about murdered children, they’ll be free to spread as much trash to the feeble minded as they please.

        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.

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

    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.
