The Onion Buys Alex Jones’ Infowars for USD 1.5 Billion in Auction Following Sandy Hook Lawsuits

In a surprising turn of events, satirical media giant The Onion purchased Alex Jones’ controversial platform, Infowars, for USD 1.5 billion on Thursday, November 14. The purchase comes after an auction triggered by Jones’ need to settle the nearly USD 1.5 billion he owes to the families of the Sandy Hook victims. Chris Mattei, attorney for the families, welcomed the acquisition, suggesting it would limit Jones' future influence. The Onion, backed by an ad deal with Everytown for Gun Safety, plans to relaunch Infowars as a parody website in January. ‘X Is a Toxic Platform’: The Guardian Exits Elon Musk-Owned Social Media, Citing Concerns Over Racism and Far-Right Conspiracy Theories.
