Musk's X Challenges The Onion's Bid for InfoWars Accounts

TL;DR Summary
Elon Musk's X Corp is attempting to block the transfer of InfoWars accounts to The Onion, arguing that users do not own their accounts and cannot sell or transfer them without X's permission. This legal objection comes amid the bankruptcy auction of InfoWars, following court orders for Alex Jones to pay $1.5 billion to Sandy Hook families. The Onion announced its purchase of InfoWars, but the sale is on hold due to objections from Jones and another bidder, with a court hearing set for next month.
