What was the outcome of The Onion’s bid to buy InfoWars?

The Onion’s bid to buy Alex Jones’s InfoWars was initially declared the winner, but a bankruptcy judge blocked the sale because of auction process issues. Decisions by a Texas district court and the U.S. Supreme Court may make The Onion’s bid again viable. In April 2026, The Onion proposed leasing the InfoWars website for six months, with the option to renew for another six months. The proposal must be approved by a judge and Jones could appeal any ruling.
