Overview
- The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron, disclosed Monday a licensing deal with Infowars’ court‑appointed receiver that would let it operate the site.
- The receiver, Gregory S. Milligan, asked Travis County District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble to approve the arrangement, with a hearing set for April 30 in Austin.
- Under the proposal, Global Tetrahedron would pay $81,000 per month for six months to license the Infowars.com domain and brand, with an option to renew.
- The Onion says it will relaunch the site as a satire platform led by creative director Tim Heidecker and share proceeds, including merchandise sales, with Sandy Hook families.
- Alex Jones has rejected the move and says he will keep broadcasting on alternative sites if the court signs off, a fight that follows more than $1 billion in defamation judgments and a 2024 auction that was later voided.
