In 2018, Alex Jones and InfoWars were sued by Sandy Hook families. After four years of deliberation, Free Speech Systems filed for bankruptcy protection. In September 2024, a judge ordered liquidation of the parent company as well as InfoWars via an auction.

In November, it was reported that Global Tetrahedron, the company owning news satire website The Onion, has acquired the assets of InfoWars with plans to shut it down temporarily and relaunch it in 2025 as a satirical news website. However, Alex Jones restored it the next day after his lawyers argued irregularities in the auction.
