Cards Against Humanity, the popular card game company, has filed a $15 million lawsuit against SpaceX, Elon Musk’s aerospace company. The lawsuit alleges that SpaceX has damaged land in Texas that was purchased by Cards Against Humanity in 2017 to prevent the construction of then-President Donald Trump’s border wall.
The land in question was bought by Cards Against Humanity in Cameron County through a crowdfunded campaign that received support from 150,000 individuals who each contributed $15. The company stated that the purpose of buying the land was to protect it from what they described as “racist billionaires and their dumb vanity projects.”
According to the lawsuit, SpaceX has been encroaching on the land owned by Cards Against Humanity by clearing vegetation, unloading gravel, and using the property for construction purposes without permission. The card company has accused Elon Musk of stealing the property without any explanation or remorse.
In addition to the physical damage to the land, Cards Against Humanity claims that Musk’s actions have damaged their reputation with the supporters who donated to the crowdfunding campaign. The company is seeking $15 million in damages, which includes the cost of restoring the land to its original state.
Despite these allegations, SpaceX has not yet responded to requests for comment on the lawsuit. Cards Against Humanity has stated on their website that they are willing to accept Twitter.com as compensation in addition to the monetary damages they are seeking.
The lawsuit between Cards Against Humanity and SpaceX highlights the ongoing tensions between private companies over land use and property rights. It remains to be seen how this legal battle will unfold and what implications it may have for both companies involved.
