Alex Jones Doesn’t Seem Too Happy The Onion Just Bought Infowars | EUROtoday

Alex Jones doesn’t appear notably comfortable that his Infowars web site was simply bought by The Onion.

On Thursday morning, after the sale of the conspiracy-mongering web site to the parody newspaper was introduced, Jones took to X, previously Twitter, to gripe in regards to the injustice of all of it.

“I just got word 15 minutes ago that my lawyers and folks met with the U.S. trustee over our bankruptcy this morning and they said they are shutting us down even without a court order this morning,” Jones stated.

The Onion bought Infowars on Wednesday in a personal public sale as a part of a private chapter plan to pay the households of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook faculty taking pictures.

The households gained a $1.4 billion defamation lawsuit towards Jones and his firm, Free Speech Systems, in 2022 after he falsely claimed the taking pictures was faux and family members of the 20 kids and 6 adults killed had been solely actors.

Ben Collins, chief government at The Onion’s mum or dad firm, Global Tetrahedron, stated on social media that the plan is to show Infowars right into a parody of itself and be “a very funny, very stupid website.”

The Onion introduced the sale by itself web site by way of an editorial written by fictional CEO Bryce P. Tetraeder, who praised Infowars for distinguishing itself as “an invaluable tool for brainwashing and controlling the masses.”

With a shrewd mixture of delusional paranoia and doubtful anti-aging vitamin hacks, they try to make life each scarier and longer for everybody, a commendable objective.

As of Thursday afternoon, the Infowars web site solely exhibits a touchdown web page with the phrases “site unavailable till further notice.”

Jones is clearly miffed by the sale of his web site, however many individuals on social media had a distinct response.

CNN’s Bill Weir felt obliged to share the information with this caveat: “Not an Onion headline.”

Others expressed a sense of schadenfreude, a German phrase which means discovering pleasure in others’ struggling.

But Jones’ personal followers aren’t taking the information properly in any respect.

One particular person prompt getting even by having somebody purchase MSNBC and rename it Infowars.

Another particular person prompt that is all a part of a ― shocker! ― massive conspiracy to make it so folks don’t take Infowars significantly.

Another Jones fan predicted that The Onion’s plan would fail miserably as a result of “nobodys going to watch InfoWars with some looney green haired leftist at the helm spewing nonsensical anti-Trump [trash].”
