CAMERON COUNTY, Texas — The maker of the popular board game Cards Against Humanity is accusing Elon Musk’s SpaceX of trespassing on and damaging a piece of vacant land the company owns in Texas.
Cards Against Humanity alleges in a lawsuit filed this week in a Texas court that SpaceX has treated the gaming company’s property, located in Cameron County, as its own for the past six months.
The lawsuit alleges that SpaceX, which previously acquired other land near the property, placed construction materials, such as gravel and other debris, on the land without seeking permission.
SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Cards Against Humanity, headquartered in Chicago, bought the land in 2017 as part of what it called a move to thwart former President Donald Trump’s plans to build a border wall.
According to the company, 150,000 people have each contributed $15 to the project.
Cards Against Humanity says the land has been maintained in its natural state over the years. It also says a “no trespassing” sign was posted to warn people they were about to trespass on private property.
The company is seeking $15 million in damages, including loss of vegetation on the land.
