Cards Against Humanity — yes, the raunchy, word-based party game — has launched a legal battle against Elon Musk and SpaceX.
CAH, known for its well-meaning publicity stunts, has sued the space company over allegedly using a plot of land in Texas belonging to the game company. In 2017, it fundraised a bunch of money to purchase a plot of land on the Texas-Mexico border, making it impossible for then-President Donald Trump to complete his long-promised border wall.
“Donald Trump is a preposterous golem who is afraid of Mexicans. He is so afraid that he wants to build a $20 billion wall that everyone knows will accomplish nothing,” the company wrote at the time. “So we’ve purchased a plot of vacant land on the border and retained a law firm specializing in eminent domain to make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible for the wall to get built.”
Years later that same plot of land is at the center of the company’s dispute with Musk and SpaceX. CAH alleged in a lawsuit that SpaceX, which has facilities nearby, has been using the land without permission and leaving materials strewn about.

Wrote the game company in a statement:
The company promised it would “equally split the lawsuit’s net proceeds among all 150,000 of our original subscribers, up to $100 each.” It included images of the land, allegedly showing SpaceX materials everywhere.
