Cards Against Humanity Sues Elon Musk’s SpaceX for Alleged Trespassing on Texas Border Land
The creators of the popular adult party game Cards Against Humanity have filed a $15 million lawsuit against SpaceX, accusing the aerospace company of trespassing on land they purchased near the US-Mexico border. The lawsuit, filed by Chicago-based Cards Against Humanity LLC, claims that SpaceX, owned by billionaire Elon Musk, has unlawfully occupied and used the land without permission.
In 2017, Cards Against Humanity bought the property in Cameron County, Texas, as part of a crowd-funded stunt aimed at disrupting the construction of former President Donald Trump’s border wall. According to the lawsuit, while the land remained vacant for years, SpaceX has recently started encroaching on the property, which is located just three miles from the company’s Starbase launch facility.
The lawsuit accuses SpaceX of dumping large amounts of gravel and placing generators and other equipment on the land, effectively turning it into a construction site. Cards Against Humanity claims the company never sought permission for its use, and the lawsuit describes the actions as an “egregious appropriation” for SpaceX’s “profit-making purposes.”
The legal dispute highlights Cards Against Humanity’s commitment to maintaining its political stance and reputation for standing against large corporations and government overreach. In the lawsuit, the game publisher argues that allowing Musk’s company to continue its alleged trespassing could harm the brand’s image and relationship with its supporters.
SpaceX, which began building in the area in 2014, has been expanding its operations, with Musk recently announcing plans to move the company’s headquarters from California to Starbase, Texas. Neither SpaceX nor Musk has publicly commented on the lawsuit.
