• The Onion, the satirical news site, has bought Alex Jones’ Infowars at auction.
• Jones was found guilty of defaming the Sandy Hook families and ordered to pay nearly $1.5 billion.
• Under The Onion, the revamped Infowars is set to feature ads from Everytown for Gun Safety.

The conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ Infowars she has a new home—and it’s not the one she wanted.

The Onion, the satirical publication, announced Thursday that he bought the disgraced far-right commentator’s company at auction. Terms of the sale were not disclosed.

Everytown for Gun Safety, an anti-gun violence nonprofit, said the Infowars purchase had the support of victims’ families The Sandy Hook Massacre. He also said he also had a “multi-year deal” with the new Infowars to advertise. Terms of that deal were not disclosed.

“It’s fitting that a platform once used to profit from tragedy should be a tool for education, hence our multi-year advertising commitment to this new venture,” said John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety.

The organization said The Onion’s goal for the acquisition was “to end Infowars’ relentless barrage of misinformation for the sake of selling supplements and replace it permanently with The Onion’s relentless barrage of humor,” referring to Jones’s sales of dietary supplements.

Jones, who spent years spreading lies that the deadly 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School was a hoax, was found guilty of defaming the victims’ families.

Many of these lies were promoted on Infowars, which was put up for auction this year as part of a deal under which Jones would liquidate his assets to help pay for a fraction of the nearly $1.5 billion he was ordered to pay the families.

Jones had said he hoped so that one of his “patriot” allies will buy his company so he can continue broadcasting on the platform.

After news of The Onion purchase broke, Jones streamed an “emergency critical show” on X with the headline “Democrats Heading to Building to Shut InfoWars Down Now.”

The Associated Press reported that The Onion will acquire Infowars’ social media accounts, its trademarks, its video archive and its Austin studio. The upgraded platform is expected to launch in January.

As for what the new Infowars will look like, Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion’s parent company, said The New York Times that the site would be a parody of itself and make fun of “weird internet personalities” like Jones.

“We thought this would be a hilarious joke,” Collins told the media. “This will be our answer to this world without railings, where there are no guards and everything is kind of crazy.”
