Summary
Cards Against Humanity has filed a $15 million lawsuit against SpaceX, alleging that the company has illegally taken over a plot of land in Texas that Cards Against Humanity purchased in 2017 to obstruct the construction of former President Trump’s border wall. The lawsuit claims that SpaceX has treated the land as its own, causing damage and disrupting the company’s efforts to maintain the property for its intended purpose.
In 2017, Cards Against Humanity launched a crowdfunding campaign that raised $2.25 million from 150,000 supporters to buy the land as a stand against the border wall. The company asserts that it has maintained the land in its natural state and marked it with a fence and “No Trespassing” signs. However, the lawsuit details how SpaceX has allegedly invaded the property, using it for construction activities without permission and causing significant disruption. The legal action highlights the tensions surrounding land use and property rights in the context of broader political issues related to the border wall and the company’s branding as a progressive entity opposing such measures.
