A Houston bankruptcy judge ruled on Tuesday that assets from the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s Infowars empire can be auctioned off to help pay families of the Sandy Hook mass shooting victims the defamation awards he owes them.
The auction, set for mid-November, will include Infowars’ website, social media accounts, broadcasting equipment, product trademarks and inventory owned by Free Speech Systems, Infowars’ parent company.
Mr. Jones’s fate as a broadcaster most likely depends on who buys his business. Though the Infowars name and assets are potentially of interest to a range of entities on the far right, under the terms of the sale anyone can bid.
Brace Belden has the chance to do the funniest thing ever
It’d be hilarious if Infowars was purchased by a leftist org but the most likely outcome is that
or some other billionaire buys it and keeps Alex Jones on air because he still brings in money.Hasan Piker has the opportunity to do the most hilarious thing ever
get a fund up and going lads, we’re about to do something extremely funny…
We can barely fund hexbear servers
what is infowars even worth without alex jones
Yeah I don’t see this stopping Alex Jones. Hell just start a “new” podcast called something else and bring in donations. As long as he has at least a cell phone mic and a paypal account he’ll be doin some form of info wars
He starts a new podcast called Knowledge Fight and sues the hosts of the already-existing podcast of the same name.
Deprecated.
What would you do if you owned Infowars?
publish photos of my poop
sell gold coins, survival seeds, reverse mortgages and user meta data.
LLMs for “content” which are all basically ads crafted to look like editorials about topics of the day.
basically, wring every cent out of the brand for a year or so, and then delete everything and put up a deep fake video of Alex Jones doing 9/11.
The USSR anthem on repeat.
The real 9/11 was when a bowl of spicy chili flew into Alex Jones brain
Beyond funny if the Knowledge Fight guys won the auction.
Funny on a lot of levels but the biggest would be Alex having to finally acknowledge their existence lol
Would be a shame if he were to slip into a downward spiral
Lost the drug war, lost the war on terror, now losing the infowar
Folks, let’s buy InfoWars
I can do a really good Alex Jones impersonation
We can turn the cranks into our puppets!
Jacob Wysocky has the best Alex Jones impression. It’s in the last 30 seconds or so: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=HONg0ZYg1Do
It’s win-win for us. Either the right wing nuts pay a lot of money which in turn will go directly to people they hate, or if they lowball they risk losing the established brand to liberals or leftists.
If only we could buy it
Infowars Hexbear edition would be flying way too close to the lathe
