The Onion has won the bankruptcy auction to acquire Infowars from embattled conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who has been repeatedly skewered by the well-known satirical news outlet.

Jones on Thursday morning announced that Infowars was being shut down and promised to file legal challenges over the manner of the sale.

“I just got word 15 minutes ago that my lawyers and folks met with the U.S. trustee over our bankruptcy this morning and they said they are shutting us down even without a court order this morning,” Jones said in a video posted to X, formerly Twitter. “The Connecticut Democrats with The Onion newspaper bought us.”
