The Onion bid for Infowars

The Onion's CEO stated that the plan aims to target influencers and AI figures through a new satirical lens.

The bid is part of a complex legal process following Jones' bankruptcy and the massive judgments owed to the families of Sandy Hook victims.

If successful, the move would see one of the internet's most notorious conspiracy platforms turned into a vehicle for comedy.

The satirical brand is betting that its 'grand designs' can find a new audience while dismantling Jones' legacy of misinformation.
