Eloon Musk is trying to stop The Onion from taking Alex Jones and InfoWars accounts on X

After fantasizing about buying MSNBC and installing Alex Jones on the liberal media network, Elon Musk inserted himself into a legal battle to try to block The Onion from obtaining any X accounts belonging to the bankrupt conspiracy theorist.

On Monday, attorneys for X — which Musk owns — filed a narrow objection to the sale of InfoWars that would prevent the satirical news outlet from taking ownership of Jones’s accounts on the social media platform.

X’s terms of service “make clear that it owns the X Accounts” and that X “merely grants its users a non-exclusive license to use their accounts,” attorneys for the company wrote in a federal bankruptcy court filing in Texas.

Private property?

This idea that X owns everything you touch on X sounds a bit like baking your religion into a wedding cake.

My oldest and I had fun discussing this yesterday at dinner. The bankruptcy court is not likely to support this position because it would affect many bankruptcies
