Elon Musk’s X filed a limited objection to The Onion’s bid to purchase Alex Jones’ InfoWars out of bankruptcy, claiming it had “superior ownership” over the outlets’ X accounts.
The objection, filed Monday in a Texas bankruptcy court, attempts to block the parody news site from running Jones or InfoWars’ X accounts and objected to them being included in The Onion’s bid on Jones’ media operation. X’s lawyers pointed to the platform’s terms of service in its filing, saying any accounts were “exclusive property” of X and not its users.
X account holders simply own the content “they submit, post or display” on X, the filing claimed.
