The Chicago-based Cards Against Humanity (CAH) — the company behind the bestselling adult party game in which players use cards to create either wonderfully clever or hilariously disturbing strings of phrases — distributed a statement on Friday (Sept. 20) blasting Elon Musk and SpaceX for allegedly encroaching upon and damaging land that CAH purchased in 2017. This land is located along the U.S.-Mexico border, and CAH bought it as part of a movement to thwart former President Donald Trump's plan of building a lengthy border barrier.

According to the release, Cards Against Humanity's lawsuit blames SpaceX for "trespassing, destruction of property, and brand damages" due to "unpermitted storage of construction materials and equipment" on the game company's parcel of land. If the court case is heard and leads to a successful outcome for the plaintiff, the entertainment firm promises to re-distribute any monetary gains among original supporters of its 2017 land purchase.

Back in 2017, CAH bought this chunk of land near Brownsville, Texas as a component of its Cards Against Humanity Saves America campaign, in which 150,000 customers paid the corporation $15 each to ensure the land would be protected from construction of Trump's notorious "wall." The land is near Starbase, SpaceX's lead site for the development and testing of its new Starship megarocket.
