Shirtless Alex Jones Melts Down After Losing Infowars to The Onion
The Daily Beast • • nation
Key Points:
- Alex Jones crashed an Infowars livestream bare-chested to protest The Onion's takeover of the right-wing conspiracy site, accusing them of misrepresenting and defaming him.
- The Onion's parent company, Global Tetrahedron, is set to relaunch Infowars as a parody and comedy network, with profits aimed at repaying Sandy Hook families.
- Jones lost ownership of Infowars in 2022 after bankruptcy related to a $1.5 billion judgment for falsely claiming the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax.
- The bankruptcy court blocked The Onion's outright purchase of Infowars, but they will license the brand for $81,000 per month, a deal Jones may legally challenge.
- Despite the takeover, Jones vowed to continue his show independently, warning The Onion's parody attempt will "backfire big time."
