Cards Against Humanity sues Elon Musk’s SpaceX over alleged trespass in Texas

The creator of the popular board game Cards Against Humanity is accusing Elon Musk’s SpaceX of trespassing and damaging a vacant lot owned by the company in Texas.

In a lawsuit filed this week in a Texas court, Cards Against Humanity alleges that SpaceX has essentially treated the gaming company’s property — located in Cameron County — as its own for at least six months.

The lawsuit says SpaceX, which had previously acquired other parcels of land near the property, placed construction materials, such as gravel and other debris, on the land without asking permission to do so.

SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Cards Against Humanity, headquartered in Chicago, had bought the land in 2017 as part of what he billed as an operation to oppose former President Donald Trump’s efforts to build a border wall.

The company said 150,000 people each contributed $15 to the effort.

Over the years, Cards Against Humanity says the land has been maintained in its natural state. It also contains a “no trespassing” sign to warn people that they are about to walk onto private property.

The company is seeking $15 million in damages, which it says includes loss of vegetation on the land.
