Elon Musk's X Fights for Control of Infowars Social Accounts

TL;DR Summary
Elon Musk's social media platform X, formerly Twitter, is contesting the sale of Infowars' X accounts to The Onion, asserting that X owns all accounts on its platform. This legal move comes amid Infowars' bankruptcy proceedings, where its assets are being liquidated to pay damages to Sandy Hook victims' families. Musk's intervention raises questions about his motives, especially given his past actions to restore Infowars' accounts and his criticism of The Onion. The legal filing emphasizes that users only have a non-exclusive license to their accounts, not ownership.
