A federal judge on Monday is set to review the sale of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' media company to satirical publication The Onion after a pro-Jones bidder who offered twice as much cash challenged the transaction.
Collins also wrote that the Onion plans to relaunch Infowars as "the dumbest website on the internet."
Infowars was briefly shut down after the sale was announced before it resumed operating with Jones, who claimed the site was "hijacked."
X Corp. is presumed to be an interested party because Jones uses X to broadcast his show and the case involves the potential transfer of Jones' X handle in the sale.
Jones described the auction process as "fraudulent," but told his audience that regardless of what happens with Infowars, he won't be silenced.
