Elon Musk's X Corp. files notice in Alex Jones' Infowars bankruptcy case


The judge overseeing the case has called for a new hearing to discuss concerns about the bidding process.

The X Corp. filing, dated Nov. 14 and first reported by Mother Jones, does not disclosethe purpose of X’s appearance, other than to state the rights reserved to it as an interested party, and to request all relevant documents in the case. Jones’ bankruptcy stems from his obligation to pay $1.5 billion in damages to families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims, who filed defamation lawsuits over his false claims that the massacre was a hoax. In a statement on X, The Onion’s chief executive, Ben Collins — who previously covered disinformation and conspiracy theories for NBC News — called assertions made this week by Jones and other Infowars personnel that the auction had formally been “overturned” false, while describing other allegations they leveled as “wacky.”
