Cards Against Humanity Sues Elon Musk's SpaceX Over Land Bought to Curb Trump Border Wall

Cards Against Humanity, a popular tabletop game company, has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk's SpaceX, alleging that the company breached a contract to sell them land in Texas that was purchased to prevent the construction of a border wall between the United States and Mexico.

The lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday, alleges that SpaceX breached a contract to sell the land to Cards Against Humanity after Musk publicly stated that he would not build a border wall on the property.

Cards Against Humanity, known for its irreverent humor, purchased the land in 2017 for $16 million with the intention of turning it into a "public art space" called "The Museum of Failure." The company said it purchased the land to prevent the Trump administration from building a border wall on the property, which is located near the Rio Grande River.

In 2019, Musk tweeted that he would not build a border wall on the SpaceX property, saying that it would be "against my principles." However, in October 2022, SpaceX began construction on a border wall on the property, prompting Cards Against Humanity to file the lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleges that SpaceX breached its contract with Cards Against Humanity by failing to sell the land to the company and by beginning construction on a border wall on the property. The lawsuit seeks damages from SpaceX for breach of contract, fraud, and negligent misrepresentation.

SpaceX has not yet commented on the lawsuit.

Conclusion

The lawsuit between Cards Against Humanity and SpaceX is a high-profile case that could have implications for the future of border wall construction in the United States. The case is also a reminder of the importance of carefully considering the terms of a contract before signing it.
