The Onion, a satirical publication, won a bankruptcy auction earlier this month to purchase conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' website, InfoWars, and other

Another legal complication may have surfaced in The Onion’s bid to buy the Infowars empire from bankrupt conspiracy media mogul Alex Jones. X filed a limited objection to the transfer of Infowars’ X accounts to the satirical media empire in a federal Bankruptcy Court on Monday.

The Onion will have to wait a few more weeks to see whether a court will approve the satirical outlet’s bid to buy the carcass of Infowars, the site founded by right-wing conspiracy monger Alex Jones.

Elon Musk's X weighed in on the pending sale of Alex Jones' InfoWars to satirical newspaper The Onion to claim ownership of the the bankrupt conspiracy theorist's accounts on the social media site. Why it matters: X in a Monday court filing argued that its users don't own their accounts and those accounts can't be sold or transferred to a third party without X's permission.
