The auction’s only other bidder, First United American Companies, which is associated with one of Jones’ online stores, is contesting the sale to The Onion’s parent company, Global Tetrahedron. The outcome of that effort will become clear after a hearing Monday, set by Judge Christopher Lopez in a federal bankruptcy court in Houston, to review the bidding process.

The Onion plans to reintroduce Infowars early next year as a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” like Jones who traffic in misinformation and health supplements, Collins said in an interview last week. After his website came back online last week, Jones staged a reentry to his Infowars headquarters carrying a sink, echoing a video that Elon Musk posted online after he bought Twitter, now called X. Lawyers for X, which restored Jones’ once-banned account last year, made an appearance at the hearing last week to notify the court that the social network was reserving its rights with regard to the sale of Jones’ personal account.

A rambling subsequent filing from First United traced Jones’s six-year court battle with the families, including claims that the lawsuits were part of a conspiracy by Democrats and the “deep state” to silence him and kill off his business.
