    The attorneys for Twitter asked to be included on any further information in the case? You’re allowed to just do that? Can I go into a courtroom and demand to be included in any for the communication and all relevant further information in a case? Are they taking Jones on as a client? I’m confused how they have legal standing to do this.

      If I were to guess, and question the existance of standing, my bet is musk was a bidder when infowars was put for sale. My guess is possibly the families themselves objected and asked the court to take a lower bid, that would do what they actually cared about (Create counter messaging to his blowhard conspiracy theories).

        I figured it had to do with the sale of the @realAlexJones twitter handle that was being disputed. I cant remember if that had been settled or not, but I know he was trying to keep it, and the opposing side said it was a business account and should be turned over.

          I was born cynical but him making a fuss has other motives but I’m not that clever. Is he trying to become a martyr? He spends thousands per moth, he can afford another set, no? He has hidden money everywhere.

            He owes a billion dollars. Infowars isn’t worth near that much. Even after the sell, he’ll continue oweing hundreds of millions of dollars until the day he dies.
