Buy Infowars for the Memes

Also asking questions about Tesla, bribing auditors and Never Alone Capital.

Here’s a thing I have never seen before:

I assume the bankruptcy judge has never seen a meme-coin bid before either. He’ll see it again, though. We talked about the Alex Jones/Infowars bankruptcy in December. Basically Alex Jones is a conspiracy theorist who runs a media company called Infowars, he said a bunch of lies about the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, the Sandy Hook families sued him, they got more than a billion dollars of judgments against him, and he filed for bankruptcy. The bankruptcy court tried to auction Jones’s assets — mainly Infowars — to the highest bidder to raise money to pay some fraction of his debt to the Sandy Hook families.
