In the midst of The Onion’s attempt to acquire Alex Jones’ Infowars empire, a new legal hurdle has emerged. X has filed a formal objection in federal Bankruptcy Court regarding the transfer of Infowars’ X accounts to The Onion.
The objection is based on X Corporation’s Terms of Service, which explicitly state that any transfer of licenses must have X Corp.’s consent. This clause was cited in court records as the basis for the objection.
X Corporation’s Terms of Service also clearly outline that accounts cannot be transferred without express written consent. According to their filing, these accounts are considered the exclusive property of X Corp.
Following a liquidation auction earlier this month to raise funds for Jones’ assets, including the Infowars website, this legal complication adds another layer of complexity to the situation.
