Cards Against Humanity sues Elon Musk's SpaceX for trespassing on Texas border land
Game Company Sues Space Firm Over Alleged Border Land Trespassing #
A popular adult party game company has filed a $15 million civil lawsuit against a prominent space exploration firm, alleging trespassing on its land in Cameron County, Texas. The game company purchased the land in 2017 as part of a publicity stunt to interfere with plans for a border wall.
The lawsuit claims that while the land was initially vacant, the space company began encroaching on the property, which is located approximately three miles from the company’s launch facility. The legal filing includes images showing a construction site and equipment, asserting that the space firm has been using the property without permission for its own profit-making purposes.
According to the lawsuit, contractors from the space company have entered the property, dumping large amounts of gravel and bringing in generators to power equipment and lights.
The game company stated that its original crowd-funded purchase of the land was intended to make the construction of the border wall “as time-consuming and expensive as possible.”
The space company began building in the area in 2014. Recently, its CEO announced plans to move the company’s headquarters from California to Texas, to a company town still under construction.
The lawsuit argues that by allowing the space company to wrongfully operate on the property, the game company is damaging its reputation with supporters. The legal filing emphasizes the game company’s politically active persona and its supporters’ expectations regarding its stance against perceived abusive tactics by government and wealthy businesses.
Both the space company’s CEO and the former president associated with the border wall plans are featured in the card game, which is known for incorporating current events into its content.
