In a striking legal dispute, the creators of the popular party game Cards Against Humanity have filed a $15 million lawsuit against Elon Musk's SpaceX. The case centers around claims that SpaceX has trespassed onto and polluted land owned by the company in South Texas, which Cards Against Humanity purchased in 2017. The land, acquired through a crowd-funding campaign with contributions from 150,000 individuals, was bought to prevent the construction of former President Trump's border wall.
According to the lawsuit, Cards Against Humanity accuses SpaceX of illegally using their land as a staging ground for construction materials and machinery, significantly altering the once-pristine environment. The company asserts that Musk's corporation made a lowball offer to buy the land, which they rejected, leading to the lawsuit. The company is seeking damages for the destruction of their property, with a portion of the lawsuit's proceeds potentially being distributed among their investors.
This case highlights growing concerns over SpaceX's environmental impact in the South Texas region, with local residents expressing frustration over the company's unchecked expansion
