It's getting harder to discern reality from satire, but Tim Onion has actually been The Onion's CEO's name^*^ ever since he bought that job. And he is trying to buy InfoWars. (And the company formerly known as Twitter has joined Jones' fight to prevent it.)

^*^(his bluesky display name, at least)

thank you for making this even funnier for me

Even better, the parents of the Sandy Hook kids gave the Onion money won in the settlement to buy infowars.
