Alex Jones, the InfoWars founder, hit with a $1.4 billion dollar judgment for defaming Sandy Hook families, just filed an emergency motion to stop the onion from grabbing control of his website. Earlier this week, Jones asked the third court of appeals for a temporary pause, claiming the onion aims to tank the value of his company free speech. Jones and confuse his fans with their satire plans. The onion first tried buying InfoWars in a bankruptcy auction last year, but a judge tossed their winning bid over process issues. Now, they're pushing. A new licensing deal through Texas State Court, for $81,000 a month. Jones argues in court docs that the onions openly out to wreck his assets, while onion execs say they'll turn the site into a spot for wild, arty, comedy. Even hiring Tim Heidecker from that Tim and Eric show as creative director. A hearing set for Thursday in Travis County before Judge Maya Garrigamble, but Jones' move
could derail it all, keeping everyone guessing on. Whether satire takes over InfoWars or Jones holds the line.
