The Onion Infowars Takeover Battle Moves to Texas Supreme Court as Jones Forced to Move Studios

The Onion's planned takeover of Alex Jones' Infowars has moved to the Texas Supreme Court after a state appeals court gave Jones a reprieve. The satirical publication hoped to acquire Infowars and turn it into a mockery, with proceeds going to Sandy Hook families who won a $1.3 billion defamation judgment against Jones for spreading lies about the 2012 school shooting. Jones says he must vacate his Austin studio because a court-appointed receiver stopped paying bills, though he plans to rebuild at a new location Thursday. The families' attorneys filed their own appeal to the Texas Supreme Court, stating they have 'endless patience' and over $1 billion in judgments that they intend to collect.

Texas Appeals Court Pauses The Onion's Infowars Takeover as Jones Forced to Move Studios

A Texas appeals court has granted Alex Jones an emergency request to pause The Onion's planned takeover of Infowars, temporarily blocking the deal. Jones claims he is still being forced to leave his Austin studio Thursday because the court-appointed receiver stopped paying bills. The Sandy Hook families who won a $1.3 billion defamation judgment against Jones have not received any payment yet and continue pushing for the Onion's takeover.

The Onion Signs Restructured Deal to License Infowars from Court-Appointed Manager

The Onion's parent company Global Tetrahedron has signed a new restructured deal to license Infowars from court-appointed manager Gregory Milligan, paying $81,000 monthly for six months. The agreement covers the website, intellectual property, studio rent and utilities, with an option to renew for another six months. Infowars was put up for sale in 2024 after conspiracy theorist Alex Jones lost defamation lawsuits filed by Sandy Hook Elementary School victims' families, whom he had harassed after calling the 2012 massacre a "hoax".

The Onion Seeks Temporary Control of Alex Jones' Infowars in Court-Backed Proposal

The Onion's parent company Global Tetrahedron has submitted a Texas court proposal to lease Infowars' intellectual property and operations for $81,000 per month over six months, with an option to extend. The plan, backed by the court-appointed receiver and Sandy Hook families' lawyers, aims to transform the conspiracy platform into a satirical version. Alex Jones opposes the deal, claiming it amounts to misrepresentation, and insists he will continue broadcasting through an expanded network. A hearing is scheduled for April 30.

The Onion Moves to Take Over Infowars in Deal Pending Texas Court Approval

The Onion has reached a deal to take over Infowars, Alex Jones's far-right media company, pending approval by a Texas judge. The satirical website plans to transform the conspiracy theory platform into a parody of itself, paying $81,000 monthly to license the Infowars.com domain. The Sandy Hook families, who won a nearly $1.3 billion defamation judgment against Jones for claiming they faked their children's deaths, support the deal as a way to strip Jones of his platform and potentially collect some owed damages. Jones has criticized the deal and could continue broadcasting under a different name if the sale proceeds.
