Elon Musk's X Corp Opposes Infowars Sale

Elon Musk's X Corp. has filed a formal objection to the sale or transfer of any X accounts associated with Alex Jones and his media platform Infowars, aiming to block The Onion's acquisition of these accounts as part of its purchase of Infowars. The bankruptcy judge, Christopher Lopez, has postponed a hearing regarding The Onion's bid until December, expressing concerns about the auction process that led to The Onion's acquisition, which allegedly bypassed the highest bid. X Corp. contends that while Jones and his entities own the content on their accounts, the underlying accounts and services belong to X Corp., and thus cannot be transferred without its consent. The Onion plans to transform Infowars into a satire site, supported by families of Sandy Hook victims, as part of a settlement of a $1.5 billion lawsuit against Jones. Concerns have been raised about whether the auction was conducted fairly, with potential implications for the legitimacy of the sale if deemed improper. The case continues to unfold, with the judge emphasizing the need for a transparent process.
