Both fans and foes are getting in on the bidding war for Alex Jones’ media company -- or at least trying to.

Some harbor hopes of continuing Jones’ brand of conservative rants and conspiracy mongering, while others dream of burying it for good. Ultimately, the winner may take all, including even Jones himself, since the company running the auction says there would be nothing stopping a new owner from rehiring “key employees and talent.”

Everything from Infowars’ brand name, production rights, archive library, social media accounts, cameras and microphones, ecommerce site and customer lists to hundreds of domain names are up for grabs, according to auction firms

So nothing of value then?

Nothing of value to humanity, but it's valuable to Alex Jones and Conservative activists as a platform to normalize conspiracy theories, so "valuable" in the wrong hands.

I just want his customer list to sell to other scammers.
