Cards Against Humanity has filed a $15 million lawsuit against Elon Musk’s SpaceX, accusing the space exploration company of trespassing and damaging their land on the Texas-Mexico border. 

The lawsuit, lodged in a Texas court this Thursday, alleges that SpaceX used the game company’s property as a dumping ground and staging area for construction without permission.

The conflict began when SpaceX allegedly cleared vegetation and dumped construction debris on a plot of land Cards Against Humanity had purchased in 2017 through a crowdfunding campaign. 

The land, described in the lawsuit as previously “pristine,” was bought with the aim of hindering the construction of President Trump’s proposed border wall. The company's initiative raised funds from about 150,000 fans who each contributed $1 to the cause.

“Elon Musk’s SpaceX was building some space thing nearby, and he figured he could just dump his sh-t all over our gorgeous plot of land without asking. 

After we caught him, SpaceX gave us a 12-hour ultimatum to accept a lowball offer for less than half our land’s value,” Cards Against Humanity stated in a letter to their fans.

The letter also expressed the company’s bold refusal to accept the offer: “We said, ‘Go f–k yourself, Elon Musk. We’ll see you in court,’” adding with a mix of humor and defiance, “With great vengeance and furious anger, and added a P.S.: ‘We will also accept Twitter.com as compensation’” – referencing Musk’s recent acquisition of the social media platform for $44 billion.

SpaceX, which has ramped up construction activities at its nearby Starbase facility, allegedly ignored the “no trespassing” signs and continued to use Cards Against Humanity’s land. 

The lawsuit highlights that this misuse has not only damaged the land’s natural state but has also harmed the company’s reputation among its supporters.

Local residents and environmental groups have echoed similar concerns about SpaceX’s operations in the area, accusing Musk’s company of environmental violations that have disrupted the community around Brownsville, Texas.
