No but honestly who has any use for the Infowars brand besides Alex Jones and the Onion? What would anyone do with it to get a return on their investment?

I don't really know, but Elon Musk has been known to buy media companies that don't give him a good ROI, and he was making noise about putting a bid together on this one.

The auctioneer should not have shifted the due date for bids after Elon Musk said this, and we would get a clear mark on that list.
