"I can say from experience, everything that [Tommy] Robinson says, what Musk says, what Alex Jones says, or anyone who is called radical or right-wing extremist by mainstream media - they are telling the truth."

~ Taleb Al Abdulmohsen, accused of killing five people in the terrorist attack in Magdeburg, Germany

DER SPIEGEL · Lage in Magdeburg: Täter fuhr Hunderte Meter über Weihnachtsmarkt – mindestens zwei Tote, Dutzende VerletzteBy Henrik Bahlmann

A bankruptcy judge has rejected The Onion's bid to buy Alex Jones' Infowars site, ruling that the auction process was unfair. "I don't think it's enough money," Judge Christopher Lopez said after a two-day hearing. "I'm not going to approve the sale." It was not immediately clear whether there will be a new auction in which The Onion can participate. Here's more from @NBCNews.

Elon Musk Says He Owns Everyone’s Twitter Account in Bizarre Alex Jones Court Filing

X’s legal filing argues that all of the social media accounts in the auction can’t be transferred. X insists it wasn’t claiming ownership of the content in the accounts, and is only saying it controls the accounts themselves.

Gizmodo · Elon Musk Says He Owns Everyone's Twitter Account in Bizarre Alex Jones Court FilingMusk's X is trying to stop The Onion from buying Alex Jones' social media accounts.

Who owns your social media accounts? If you're on X, Elon Musk argues that it's the platform. In an objection filed on Monday, lawyers argued that its terms of service (TOS) prevent former Infowars owner Alex Jones' accounts from being sold off without X's approval. Jones' assets are being liquidated to pay the families of Sandy Hook victims after they won a defamation case against him. Satirical site The Onion purchased Infowars with social media accounts forming part of the deal. X's team wrote in Monday's objection: “The Trustee now seeks to contravene X Corp.’s TOS by improperly selling or otherwise transferring the X Accounts (which neither Jones nor his bankruptcy estate own) to a third party." Here's more from @TheHill.

Lots of people LOVED that The Onion won the bid to buy the #AlexJones Infowars site.
Who doesn't love this? #ElonMusk. From Mother Jones:
Alex Jones Is Trying to Halt the Sale of Infowars. Elon Musk’s X Just Got Involved in the Case

I loved that the Sandy Hook families were involved & will use the site to keep talking about what happened & how to change things. Every story about this should return to that harm.
NOT that Jones is the Victim.

Mother JonesAlex Jones is trying to halt the sale of Infowars. Elon Musk's X just got involved in the case.At an emergency hearing, lawyers for the social media company appeared. They haven’t explained why.

"Das gefällt Alex Jones gar nicht: Ausgerechnet das Satiremagazin The Onion hat seine rechte und hetzende Lügen-Plattform Infowars ersteigert. Wie viel die Onion dafür zahlen musste, ist bisher nicht bekannt. Dafür aber, dass sie dabei von den Angehörigen der Opfer des Sandy-Hook-Massakers unterstützt wurde."

@socprof
Well, since the judge is holding an evidentiary hearing next week, I hope the lawyers for @theonion, @oneunderscore__@threads.net (@oneunderscore__@mastodon.social), the #SandyHook families, and any other actually related parties to the case are aware that the backup bidder "First United American Companies, LLC" is so closely associated with #AlexJones and #InfoWars that they were listed as the owner and copyright holder on ShopAlexJones.com, captured on the Internet Archives' wayback machine in August here: web.archive.org/web/2024082720
And it also holds the trademarks on two supplement lines sold on Alex's show here:
trademarks.justia.com/owners/f

And how do we know this is Alex's site? Because he's been plugging it on InfoWars broadcasts constantly this month.

Oh, and why did I give an Internet Archive link? Because the site now shows it's copyright holder as "LLC" to hide its identity.

This is Alex Jones trying to bid on his own company and cheat the bankruptcy court.

And finally, the most chucklesome story in a week that’s been light on laughs: Our @NewsDesk reported on The Onion’s acquisition of Infowars, which its founder was forced to sell after being successfully sued by the families of Sandy Hook victims. “They are a true unicorn, capable of simultaneously inspiring public support for billionaires and stoking outrage at an inept federal state that can assassinate JFK but can’t even put a man on the Moon,” said CEO Bryce P. Tetraeder in a statement.

Here’s @AssociatedPress’s story on the takeover, which includes not just the site, but the social media presence, video archives, trademarks, and even Jones’ studio in Austin, Texas.
