Jones and The Onion CEO speak out

Jones responded to the ruling in a video shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, praising the judge for allowing him to keep his outlet, at least for now.

“We can celebrate the judge doing the right thing,” Jones said during a live broadcast from his studio.

After learning that The Onion had initially won the bid, the 50-year-old said in a separate video shared on his X account, “I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I’m going to be here until they come and turn the lights off.”

Onion CEO Ben Collins shared a statement on X, stating that while he was “deeply disappointed” in the ruling, the company would “continue to seek a path towards purchasing Infowars in the coming weeks.”
