X says The Onion can't have Alex Jones' Infowars accounts
Briefly

X Corporation has filed a limited objection to the transfer of Infowars' accounts, citing its Terms of Service which state that such accounts cannot be transferred without consent. This legal complication arises as The Onion seeks to acquire the Infowars empire amid its ongoing bankruptcy proceedings.
According to X's court filing, 'the TOS make clear that X accounts are X Corp.'s exclusive property.' This assertion strengthens X Corporation's position against the proposed sale as it emphasizes the ownership of the accounts.
Jones' Infowars empire is in liquidation to address nearly $1.5 billion in damages from civil lawsuits related to false claims made about the Sandy Hook shooting, a scandal that significantly impacts the sale's legitimacy.
While Global Tetrahedron placed a bid for Infowars, the auction was halted by US Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez for further examination, as it raised questions about whether the proper bidding procedures were followed.
