Cards Against Humanity Sues Elon Musk’s SpaceX for Alleged Trespassing on Texas Land

Cards Against Humanity’s Land Dispute

The crude par­ty game com­pa­ny Cards Against Human­i­ty is tak­ing Elon Musk’s SpaceX to court, fil­ing a $15 mil­lion law­suit in Texas over alleged tres­pass­ing and destruc­tion of their pur­chased land on the Texas-Mex­i­co border.

Allegations of Trespass and Destruction

Accord­ing to the law­suit, Cards Against Human­i­ty pur­chased the “pris­tine” plot of land in 2017 through a crowd­fund­ing campaign. 

How­ev­er, the com­pa­ny claims that over the past six months, SpaceX and its con­trac­tors have cleared the land, using it as a stag­ing area for the aero­space fir­m’s near­by Star­base con­struc­tion projects.

SpaceX’s Expanding Footprint

The law­suit alleges that as SpaceX has expand­ed its oper­a­tions in the area, the com­pa­ny has neglect­ed the “no tres­pass­ing” signs on the Cards Against Human­i­ty prop­er­ty, and has been using the land for its own pur­pos­es with­out permission.

Damage to Relationship with Supporters

The game com­pa­ny argues that SpaceX’s alleged abuse of the land has not only destroyed its nat­ur­al con­di­tion but has also dam­aged Cards Against Human­i­ty’s rela­tion­ship with the thou­sands of sup­port­ers who crowd­fund­ed the land’s purchase.

Locals Blast Musk’s Development

This law­suit is the lat­est in a series of com­plaints from neigh­bor­ing res­i­dents about the rapid devel­op­ment around Star­base, with locals pre­vi­ous­ly blast­ing Elon Musk for “destroy­ing” the area.

Environmental Concerns

Addi­tion­al­ly, SpaceX has been accused of vio­lat­ing envi­ron­men­tal reg­u­la­tions at the Star­base site by repeat­ed­ly releas­ing pol­lu­tants into or near bod­ies of water in Texas, accord­ing to the state’s envi­ron­men­tal agency.
