Wait a second. A judge blocked the Onion from buying the site at auction because… he thinks it should have sold for more? My brother in Christ, do you understand what an auction is?!
Specifically, he thought the trustee should have allowed the other LLC (which is totally not affiliated with him yet only exists to shelter his supplement business) more time to counteroffer.
But that makes no sense. It’s an auction. There’s a time limit. It’s not an acquisition. You’re being forced to sell something.

You know what else makes no sense? Letting someone bid on his former property using money he owes to the people selling.
Why does that make no sense? He has debts to pay, can’t cover them, and so his assets are sold at auction to pay them off. Same thing happens to people every day via civil forfeiture.
okay, but he’s trying to buy the thing he says he can’t afford with money he claims he doesn’t have, which is (allegedly) why he he can’t pay the debts he owes. you’re creating a false equivalence. no one gets this treatment. this is magical rich white guy thinking, and the court is going “oh what’s that? you’re rich and white? sure! you take all the time you need to get the money together to buy back your propaganda machine. meanwhile these parents of kids who would have started college this year… um… i guess they can go get fucked. fuckin’ poors”
Because he’s trying to use the money he owes to buy back his stuff, when it should have been seized too
Boo this judge
Aw man, that’s some bullshit
At least we now know why Musk was upset. He intended to buy it and hand it right back to Alex Jones. Can’t have the “alt-right” media sphere disappearing.
Booooo!
Deny. Defend. Depose.
Context. Volume. Relevance.
I thought they’d already bought it, I didn’t know it was still in question. What a bummer. This was going to be hilarious.
lame
No justice, no peace! Give them Infowars!
