          He’s claimed:

          1. Sept 11 was an inside job.

          2. The government has a weather controlling machine and has used it on Americans.

          3. That Sandy Hook was staged with paid actors.

          4. The government are using chemicals to turn frogs and people gay.

          5. That Robert Mueller was a demon and a pedophile.

          6. That Hillary Clinton was running a child sex ring out of a pizza parlor.

          7. Bill Gates is a eugenicist trying to wipe out minorities.

          8. Millions of undocumented immigrants illegally voted in the election.

          9. Glenn Beck is a CIA operative.

          10. Satanists are taking over America.

      People want Elon Musk to buy it but I think having someone already in the media space purchasing it would make more sense. Could be the Tucker Carlson Network, some random rich right winger as the article implies, or a consortium of various organizations and figures like Tucker Carlson, Elon Musk, heck maybe even the people who created Tenet Media lol

    To what end? Just to keep someone else from buying it and reviving it? Maybe hiring Alex back? Seems like an awfully big cost that just helps Alex pay his bills. And he will almost definitely be replatformed by someone anyway. Let some right wing knob dump their cash on the psycho and put your money to better use.

      I think the goal would be to get rid of Alex Jones’ show. IDK the legal details but it’s possible that copyright issues could keep Alex Jones from spinning up a copycat show without having his contract with the company formally severed. I’m also guessing whoever owns the company would have the power to sever the connections to whatever terrestrial radio stations still carry his program.
