Cards Against Humanity has filed a $15 million lawsuit against Elon Musk’s space exploration company SpaceX, accusing the company of abandoning construction equipment on the gaming company’s property in Texas.
The email posted on Threads was sent to about 150,000 Cards Against Humanity Saves America donors, who gave $15 a year ago to help the gaming company buy land on the U.S.-Mexico border to protect it from former President Donald Trump’s proposed wall to stop illegal immigration.
“Unfortunately, a much wealthier and more racist billionaire named Elon Musk has sneaked up behind us and has completely ruined your land with gravel, tractors, and space debris,” the email reads.
The lawsuit filed by CAH against SpaceX in Cameron County District Court Thursday evening shows photos of the site in 2017, where the company says it has maintained the site as a natural prairie, where “wild horses galloped free under the Texas moonlight.” Those photos are juxtaposed with images of the site today, where the ground has been dug, pipes laid, and construction equipment installed.
CAH claims that SpaceX treated the site as its own for at least six months, clearing vegetation, compacting the ground with gravel, and generally creating an unsafe work site.
The company said it gave SpaceX a 12-hour ultimatum to “accept a lower price of half the value of the land” after SpaceX claimed it was violating its property rights and trespassing.
“We said, ‘Fuck off, Elon Musk. We’ll meet in court.'”
In the lawsuit, CAH explains how it maintains trust with its loyal fan base, which it seeks to inspire injustice. CAH says it uses pranks and stunts to draw attention to specific issues or “people who disregard the rights and concerns of ordinary people for their own personal enrichment or aggrandizement.”
Trump and Musk are two of CAH’s repeated targets.
Neither CAH nor SpaceX immediately responded to requests for comment.
In an email to campaign donors, CAH said that if it won the fight, the 150,000 people who donated $15 in 2017 would “each get $100” from the lawsuit. The company also acknowledged that this was unlikely, as “Musk has a lot more money and lawyers than we do, so we’d probably get $2 at best.”
The email also included a call to action asking campaign donors to post on “Twitter (a platform he prefers to call X for sexual gratification)” to spread awareness about the lawsuit, and included a link to www.ElonOwesYou100Dollars.com.
