Cards Against Humanity Sues Elon Musk’s SpaceX, Says He ‘F**ked’ Land Near Border

The creators of Cards Against Humanity filed a $15 million lawsuit against Elon Musk’s aerospace company, SpaceX, on Thursday, accusing it of damaging land in Texas that the card game company bought in 2017 to impede then-President Donald Trump’s border wall.
Cards Against Humanity bought a plot of vacant land in Cameron County through a crowdfunded “prank” that garnered the support of some 150,000 people paying $15 each, according to the lawsuit.
“150,000 people gave us their hard-earned money, and in exchange we vowed to protect this land from racist billionaires and their dumb vanity projects,” Cards Against Humanity said of the project on a website announcing the lawsuit.
The gaming company had promised supporters of the crowdfunding campaign that it would “make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible for Trump to build his wall,” according to the lawsuit.
Since then, Cards Against Humanity says it has maintained the land and fenced it off with a “No Trespassing” sign.
However, the land is just a few miles away from SpaceX’s Starbase launch site, and the company has begun constructing “large modern-looking buildings” nearby.
Cards Against Humanity said in the lawsuit that Musk stole the property “without remorse or even explanation.”
The suit claimed that over the last six months, SpaceX has trespassed onto the card company’s property, clearing it of its vegetation and unloading “an enormous mound” of gravel.
Additionally, the lawsuit said SpaceX contractors have parked all over the card company’s land and stored construction equipment there without permission.
“Just look at it! He fucked it,” read the Cards Against Humanity site about the suit, alongside pictures of the land.
In addition to the property damage, Cards Against Humanity claimed Musk has effectively damaged its reputation with supporters who donated to the campaign.
