Story

X Corp., owned by Elon Musk, recently filed a court objection regarding the sale or transfer of various social media accounts linked to Alex Jones and Infowars. This legal maneuver occurred amid Jones' bankruptcy proceedings, as the company argues that Jones does not own his accounts but rather holds a license for use, asserting that all accounts on the X platform are the exclusive property of X Corp. Furthermore, the company indicated its willingness to permit sales of accounts in general, but not those connected to Jones or Infowars specifically. This revelation arises during an auction in which the Onion, supported by families of Sandy Hook victims, secured a platform previously owned by Jones, prompting judicial concerns regarding the bidding process's transparency and fairness.
