Satirical news site The Onion has acquired the conspiracy website Infowars from Alex Jones, as confirmed by court documents. Jones has faced significant financial issues, including a court-mandated payment of over $1 billion to Sandy Hook victims’ families. Following a history of controversial claims and previous bans from major social media platforms, Infowars was auctioned off to help cover these debts. The Onion plans to use the platform for humor, with a promise of ad space for gun violence prevention organizations. Jones expressed anger at the loss of his site, alleging political motivations behind the takeover.
