Here’s Why I Decided To Buy ‘InfoWars’ By Bryce P. Tetraeder, Global Tetrahedron CEO ☞ https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/

And let me say, I really do see it as a family. Much like family members, our brands are abstract nodes of wealth, interchangeable assets for their patriarch to absorb and discard according to the opaque whims of the market. And just like family members, our brands regard one another with mutual suspicion and malice.

I thought that was a joke. But regular news sites are running the story. So maybe it's real?

I saw a TikTok of Alex crying about it. It is real.

That's really amazing. Their joke article was hilarious even as a joke. But the fact that they really bought it is beautiful.

It's real. Their new owner is very rich and doesn't give a fuck
