Alex Jones Declares ‘The Cavalry Is Here’ as Musk’s Attorneys Enter Infowars Bankruptcy Battle
Alex Jones has rallied behind what he views as a critical lifeline in his ongoing legal battles, proclaiming “the cavalry is here” after attorneys for Elon Musk’s X entered the legal dispute. The high-stakes battle aims to halt the sale of his Infowars empire to The Onion.
Bid by The Onion Draws Scrutiny
The satirical news outlet’s bid, reportedly sanctioned by families of Sandy Hook Elementary School victims who won a $1.4 billion defamation lawsuit against Jones in 2022, has come under scrutiny. A federal judge raised concerns about the transparency of the auction process, offering Jones a potential opening to reclaim his embattled media platform.
Musk’s Lawyers Join the Fight
Attorneys representing Musk’s social media platform, X, filed a notice of appearance in Jones’ bankruptcy case last Thursday. The filing did not specify their motives but labeled them an “interested party” and requested access to all relevant court documents.
Jones Hails Musk as a Free Speech Advocate
On Sunday, Jones celebrated the development during a broadcast on X, claiming both Musk and former President Donald Trump were backing his cause.
“I was told Elon is going to be very involved in this,” Jones stated, lauding Musk as a defender of free speech. “The cavalry is here. Trump is p****d.”
Trump’s Alleged Involvement Sparks Speculation
Infowars host Harrison Smith further fueled speculation in a video posted to X, asserting that Trump and Musk were aligned to fight against what he described as a “precedent-setting attack” on personal social media accounts.
“Elon’s lawyers were at the hearing yesterday because it has to do with them trying to take Alex Jones’ name and his personal Twitter account,” Smith alleged.
Federal Judge to Review Auction Process
During a status conference in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Judge Christopher M. Lopez announced a forthcoming hearing to determine whether the auction was conducted fairly and transparently.
Collins Responds with Satirical Wit
The Onion’s CEO, Ben Collins, dismissed the uproar in a statement over the weekend.
“Long and short of it: We won the bid, and — you’re not going to believe it — the previous InfoWars folks aren’t taking it well,” he quipped.
Key Hearing Set for Next Week
The next court date, scheduled for the following Monday, will be pivotal. It will assess the fairness of the auction and potentially shape the fate of Infowars, while also exploring the implications of Musk’s involvement in the case.
This escalating legal saga has become a battleground of tech moguls, political figures, and satirical powerhouses, further deepening the drama surrounding Alex Jones’ turbulent career.
