The Onion has purchased Infowars in a bankruptcy auction and plans to turn it into a satirical version of the iconic brand.
The purchase was helped by families of 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims, whose founder, Alex Jones, owes $1 billion in damages after being sued for defamation over former claims that the massacre was a hoax.
The purchase includes the Infowars website, Texas studio, social media accounts, trademarks, and video archive.
“Last broadcast now live from Infowars studios. They are in the building. Are ordering shutdown without court approval,” Jones said in a video posted from his personal account to X on Thursday morning.
