The Onion's Infowars Acquisition Faces Legal Hurdles

TL;DR Summary
Elon Musk's X Corp has claimed ownership of InfoWars' social media accounts in a court filing, arguing that users do not own their accounts and cannot sell or transfer them without the company's permission. This move comes amid the pending sale of InfoWars to The Onion, following Alex Jones' bankruptcy and legal troubles. X Corp's stance could have significant implications for its millions of users, as it asserts that its terms of service only grant a non-exclusive license to use the accounts, not ownership.
