The Onion buys rightwing conspiracy site Infowars with plans to make it ‘very funny, very stupid’

-

The satirical news outlet The Onion has purchased Infowars, the rightwing conspiracy media platform run by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, at a court-ordered auction.

The news was confirmed on Thursday morning in a video by Jones himself, as well as the head of the Onion’s parent company.

“I just got word 15 minutes ago that my lawyers and folks met with the US trustee over our bankruptcy this morning, and they said they are shutting us down even without a court order this morning,” Jones said in a video shared on X. “The Connecticut Democrats with The Onion newspaper bought us.”

The Onion plans to rebuild the website and feature well-known internet humor writers and content creators. CEO Ben Collins confirmed this in a post on Bluesky on Thursday, writing: “The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars. We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website. We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.”
