Cards Against Humanity sues Elon Musk’s SpaceX  for trespassing


Cards Against Humanity (CAH) is suing Elon Musk’s space exploration company, SpaceX, for $15 million after it allegedly dumped construction equipment all over the game company’s private land in Texas. 

An email, posted on Threads, went out to around 150,000 Cards Against Humanity Saves America donors. Those donors each contributed $15 seven years ago to help the game company buy land on the U.S.-Mexico border in order to protect it from former President Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall blocking out illegal immigration. 

“Unfortunately, an even richer, more racist billionaire – Elon Musk – snuck up on us from behind and completely f—-d your land with gravel, tractors, and space garbage,” the email reads.

CAH’s complaint, filed against SpaceX on Thursday evening in Cameron County District Court, depicts photos of the property in 2017, which the company has maintained in its natural meadow-like state, a place where it says “wild horses galloped freely in the Texas moonlight.” Those photos were juxtaposed with images of the property today, with dug-up earth, piping, and construction equipment. 

CAH alleges that SpaceX treated the property as its own for at least six months, clearing the land of vegetation, compacting the soil with gravel, and generally creating an unsafe work site. 

The company said that when it confronted SpaceX about its alleged disregard for its property rights and trespassing, the space company responded with a 12-hour ultimatum “to accept a lowball offer for half the land’s value.”

“We said, ‘Go f— yourself, Elon Musk. We’ll see you in court.’”

In the complaint, CAH outlines its method of maintaining trust with its loyal fanbase that it hopes to encourage to stand up against injustice. CAH says it uses pranks and stunts to draw attention to particular issues or “people who ignore the rights and problems of regular people for their own personal enrichment or aggrandizement.” 

Trump and Musk have been two of CAH’s recurring targets. 

Neither CAH nor SpaceX immediately responded to requests for comment. 

CAH said in its email to campaign donors that if it wins this fight, the 150,000 people who donated $15 each in 2017 would get to split the net proceeds from the suit, “so $100 each.” The company also acknowledged that its chances are slim because “Musk has way more money and lawyers than we do, so you’ll probably get, like, $2 tops.”

The email also includes a call to action, asking campaign donors to “post on Twitter (the platform he wants you to call X for his own sexual gratification)” to spread awareness about the lawsuit, with a link to www.ElonOwesYou100Dollars.com.
