X claims ownership of Infowars accounts
The Hill ^ | 11/27/24

Posted on 11/27/2024 10:20:07 AM PST by EBH

X, the social platform owned by Elon Musk, is getting involved in the pending bankruptcy sale of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’s Infowars to the satirical newspaper The Onion.

In an objection filed Monday, X said its terms of service (TOS) prevent Jones’s X accounts from being sold off without the company’s approval. The platform does not oppose the other aspects of the sale.

Musk has developed an increasingly close relationship with President-elect Trump, having donated millions to Musk’s own pro-Trump super PAC and appeared on the campaign trail. After the election, Trump named Musk to co-head a new “Department of Government Efficiency,” and he has been a frequent presence at Mar-a-Lago.

“The Trustee now seeks to contravene X Corp.’s TOS by improperly selling or otherwise transferring the X Accounts (which neither Jones nor his bankruptcy estate own) to a third party,” X wrote in Monday’s objection.

“While X Corp. takes no position as to the sale of any Content posted on the X Accounts, X Corp. is the sole owner of the Services being sold as part of the sale of the X Accounts.”

Musk is actually correct. The TOS on any of these platforms is they own the account. You don't own your FB account or Instagram, or YouTube etc. This is why they can lockup your account, throw you off the platform or take any punitive action they want against the account.

In the end...the account belongs to the social media platform.

Oh hell lol. Always fun going up an autistic genius who is also the world’s richest man on any given day, depending on the stock market.

There is no pending sale to The Onion.

The bankruptcy judge had not authorized an auction.

The bankruptcy trustee, a crook, ran a an unauthorized “auction” where the bids were secret and they eventually admitted The Onion didn’t have the highest bid, nor did they have the cash on hand as required. It was a fraudulent “auction” and a fraudulent sale, and they used it take over Alex’s studio and disconnect its internet connection.

Alex told them while they were doing it that they were committing a crime and were going to get into a lot of trouble.

When the bankruptcy court judge found out about it, he was livid and had them give the studio back to Alex. They came to him and returned his studio and said “So sorry, we made a mistake. No hard feelings, OK?” after spending the past seven years trying to destroy Jones and his family.

Alex is suing the crap of them, and he has legitimate cases. He was the proof-of-concept of the lawfare they used against Trump, and they did a lot of highly illegal things to him over the years that he had to keep quiet about because they were ongoing court cases. That’s over, and Wyatt Earp is coming for them, and Hell is coming with him.

It’s fun to just stop and think about what the world will be like when Elon is done with it.

Or even 10 years from now...

If you’re feeling bored this weekend, do a little homework. Look up the relationship between Nikolai Tesla, the Trump family and Elon Musk. Once you do that, you might have an inkling of what the world would look like in 10 years. And you will understand why the elites Are really out to get them.

“”Never forget you are NOT the customer, you are the product.””

The same basic things apply here on FR. It’s the Robinson’s living room and what they say goes.

Same is true for commercially-available products. Microsoft directly places advertisements into Windows OS and Google uses telemetry data to better target product placement with both Chrome and Android on phones.

The singular way for any user to not be the actual product is to go with Linux.

“”The singular way for any user to not be the actual product is to go with Linux.””

The first Linux machine I built was around 1990. I had met Linus online and we thought he may have been on to something since we were using commercial grade Unix.

It was an EISA motherboard and had 4 experimental SCSI controllers. 16 drives all together.

All I care about is getting a colony established on Mars and beginning terraforming.
