Overview
- The Onion's licensing deal, unveiled Monday, would let it run Infowars for six months if a Texas judge approves.
- Global Tetrahedron would pay $81,000 a month to license the Infowars domain and brand and to cover the studio’s rent and utilities, and court‑appointed receiver Gregory Milligan has asked Judge Maya Guerra Gamble to approve it.
- The Onion plans to rebrand the site as a satire platform led by creative director Tim Heidecker and to share merchandise proceeds with families who won defamation cases.
- Alex Jones opposes the move, says he will keep broadcasting on other platforms, and acknowledges his crew could be out of the Austin studio by April 30 if the judge signs off.
- The push comes after more than $1.4 billion in defamation awards over Jones’s false Sandy Hook claims and a 2024 auction of Infowars that a judge voided, shifting the fight to a state‑court liquidation process.
