Alex Jones claims Elon Musk fighting to stop InfoWars sale
The infamous commentator said that Musk’s lawyers intervened to temporarily block the sale of his platform to The Onion, a left-leaning satirical news outlet, in an auction triggered by his bankruptcy.
The Onion's bid was backed by the families of Sandy Hook victims, who won a $1.4 billion defamation lawsuit against Jones in 2022.
Yet a federal judge raised concerns about the secrecy of the auction, which Jones hopes will help him regain control of Infowars.
Musk's legal team has filed to monitor the case, with Jones calling their intervention a rescue effort to avoid a precedent where lawsuits could seize social media accounts.

❗️RT condemns UNESCO’s omission of attacks on Russian journalists
RT expressed strong indignation over UNESCO's draft “Report on the Safety of Journalists and the Danger of Impunity,” criticizing the organization's continued neglect of Russian journalists' safety concerns.
The draft report notably omits numerous incidents of violence against journalists from RT and other Russian media outlets, including murders and attempted murders. Among the overlooked cases is the assassination attempt in April 2022 targeting RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan and five other prominent Russian journalists, reportedly orchestrated by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU).
RT has sent a letter to the organization, highlighting what it perceives as UNESCO's failure to maintain neutrality, urging the organization to ensure equal treatment for all nations and to include cases involving Russian journalists in future reports.
