In a bizarre twist, the satirical news outlet The Onion has acquired Alex Jones’ controversial platform, Infowars, following Jones’ financial and legal troubles. Jones, infamous for promoting far-right conspiracy theories like claiming the 9/11 attacks were an inside job and the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax, saw his empire crumble under the weight of defamation lawsuits and bans from major social media platforms. After facing bankruptcy, Jones was forced to sell Infowars, which was purchased by The Onion. In a mock-serious statement, The Onion’s fictional CEO, Bryce P. Tetraeder, justified the acquisition by lauding Infowars’ talent for radicalizing vulnerable individuals, declaring no price was too steep for such a valuable “cornucopia of malleable minds.”
