Alex Jones claims secret mogul saved Infowars website from being sold to The Onion: 'The cavalry is here'

AUSTIN, TEXAS: Alex Jones claimed that a secret mogul saved his Infowars website from being sold to The Onion as the bid was sanctioned by the families of Sandy Hook Elementary victims who won a $1.4 billion defamation lawsuit against Jones in 2022. 

Jones revealed the name of the secret mogul in the news in a broadcast on X on Sunday, November 17 evening, and believed that 'the cavalry is here' to rescue Infowars, according to Daily Mail.

Alex Jones says Elon Musk saved Infowars from being sold to The Onion

Lawyers for Elon musk owned social media platform X filed a notice of appearance in Jones' bankruptcy case on Thursday, November 14. However, the filing doesn't specify why they've appeared and it could be that they want to become an interested party in the case and receive all relevant documentation. 

Jones said in the news on X, "I was told Elon is going to be very involved in this." He also heaped praises on Musk as a defender of freedom and free speech. 

He added, "Elon Musk understands these basic fundamentals that more people need to understand."

Jones said he believes that Donald Trump is equally outraged by what's happened to him. He said, "The cavalry is here. Trump is p****d."

Moreover, Infowars host Harrison Smith also posted a video to X claiming that Trump is involved in the case. 

He said, "Apparently, Trump is involved, Elon Musk's lawyers were at the hearing yesterday because it has to do with them trying to take Alex Jones' name and his personal Twitter account, so Elon is invested in it because it will set a precedent for using lawfare to force X to sign over their personal accounts."
