According to Ben Collins, Chief Executive of The Onion's parent company, Global Tetrahedron the publication plans to reintroduce Infowars in January as a parody of itself, mocking "weird internet personalities" like Mr. Jones.
Karma or schadenfreude - you pick.
Edit to add:
During an emergency hearing afterwards, Judge Christopher Lopez of the US Bankruptcy Court put a hold on the sale until a hearing early next week. Judge Lopez cited transparency concerns in the secret bidding process and the need to clarify which assets the winner are purchasing. In dispute is Mr. Jones's account on X.
