The Onion has won the auction for Alex Jones

The satirical news outlet The Onion has won the auction for Alex Jones' Infowars, with proceeds aimed at settling his nearly $1.5 billion debt to families of Sandy Hook victims. The auction, supported by these families, was a response to Jones' defamation claims regarding the 2012 shooting, which he falsely labeled a hoax. The sale, pending court approval, includes Infowars' assets such as its website and social media accounts. Jones expressed anger over the auction process and plans to contest the sale legally, while The Onion intends to transform the platform into a space for humor content creators.
