In response to a user posting the Trade Offer meme suggesting an exchange between the embattled Infowars network for MSNBC News, Musk on Saturday suggested the idea would be "fire."

"I stand ready! Just put me in the game coach!" Infowars founder Alex Jones said in response to Musk's post.

This comes amid a growing scandal involving the auctioning off of Alex Jones' flagship website as part of its bankruptcy case that was revealed this month to be an unlawful secret sale to parody network The Onion.

On November 15, Judge Christopher Lopez convened an emergency hearing discussing how the court-appointed trustee, without the judge's approval, went ahead and ordered the shutdown of the Infowars.com website, as well as its sister video site Banned.video, immediately after filing the results of the fake auction/private sale with the court, while admitting to the US bankruptcy judge that The Onion's was not the highest bid.

"Nobody should feel comfortable with the results of the auction," Judge Lopez said.

Notably, Musk's lawyers got involved in the ongoing Infowars bankruptcy case earlier this month by filing a motion to appear as an interested party after the judge called for a new hearing to discuss concerns about the questionable bidding process.
