Cards Against Humanity sues Elon Musk鈥檚 SpaceX for trespassing on Texas border land
In 2017, adult party game Cards Against Humanity bought land on the U.S.-Mexico border to meddle with former President Donald Trump鈥檚 border wall. Now it鈥檚 suing over that land after another controversial billionaire has allegedly moved in without permission.
Chicago-based Cards Against Humanity LLC, the publisher of the popular card game, filed a $15 million civil lawsuit Thursday against Elon Musk鈥檚 SpaceX over alleged trespassing on its lot in Cameron County, Texas.
While the Cards Against Humanity鈥檚 land was vacant when purchased, the lawsuit claimed SpaceX began encroaching on its property, which is located just three miles away from SpaceX鈥檚 Starbase launch facility. Images in the lawsuit show a construction site and equipment, and the lawsuit states, 鈥淪paceX has never asked for permission to use the Property, much less for the egregious appropriation of the Property for its own profit-making purposes.鈥�
SpaceX contractors have entered the property, the lawsuit claimed, dumping enormous mounds of gravel and bringing in generators to run equipment and lights.
Cards Against Humanity LLC said in 2017 that its crowd-funded stunt was intended to make it 鈥渁s time-consuming and expensive as possible for the wall to get built.鈥�
SpaceX began building in the area in 2014. In July, Musk said on X he would move SpaceX鈥檚 HQ from Hawthorne, California, to Starbase, Texas, a company town still in the process of being built.
Both Musk and Trump are featured in the card game, which keeps up with current events.
The legal action lives up to the game company鈥檚 business philosophy, CAH said. The lawsuit claimed by allowing Musk鈥檚 company 鈥渢o essentially steal the Property from CAH without remorse or even explanation,鈥� CAH鈥檚 reputation with its supporters would be damaged.
鈥淐AH supporters have developed unprecedented loyalty, as well as expectations that the company will live up to its persona as politically-active 鈥� especially regarding abusive tactics by government and wealthy businesses against regular people around the country and the world,鈥� the lawsuit stated.
SpaceX has not responded to CNN鈥檚 request for comment.
