An important update:
Texas courts created such an unprecedented situation in an emergency filing last night, no one knows who is in charge of InfoWars, and therefore no one can pay rent.
Since no one controls these assets right now, it does appear InfoWars will shut down tonight at midnight.

Analysis Summary
A Texas appeals court issued a last-minute order on April 30, 2026 pausing The Onion's move to license the intellectual property of Alex Jones' Infowars , creating acute uncertainty over control of the operation. Judges paused enforcement while the court considers bankruptcy stay issues , meaning the status remains in legal limbo — operations haven't been ordered to cease, though the previously planned handover is blocked. Ben Collins as The Onion's CEO has direct knowledge of the transaction timeline, making his prediction credible but still contingent on how courts rule next.
