  1. CAH, doing the lord’s work again.

    Edit: Oh, shit—they’re serious. Fuck SpaceX.

    I’m pretty sure I contributed to that campaign.

  2. As soon as they (CAH) started mowing it, it ceased being natural or pristine.

    That alone is going to cause them to lose their lawsuit.

  3. From the article. I too thought it was a gag / goof like the Onion with satire…Cards Against Humanity sued SpaceX yesterday, alleging that Elon Musk’s firm illegally took over a plot of land on the US/Mexico border that the party-game company bought in 2017 in an attempt to stymie then-President Trump’s attempt to build a wall.

  4. What is CaH? Some kind of party or something? I googled but could only find a card game and thought they’re some card making company, but I feel I’m missing the point.

  5. What the people received from CAH, text only, no pictures.

    Dear CAH Saves America Subscriber,

    We have terrible news. Seven years ago, you paid us $15 to protect a pristine parcel of land on the US-Mexico border from racist billionaire Donald Trump’s very stupid wall. 

    Unfortunately, an even richer, more racist billionaire—Elon Musk—snuck up on us from behind and completely fucked your land with gravel, tractors, and space garbage.

    2017: BEFORE MUSK

    2024: AFTER MUSK

    Just look at it. He fucked it.

    How did this happen? Elon Musk’s SpaceX was building some space thing nearby, and he figured he could just dump his shit all over your gorgeous plot of land without asking. After we caught him, SpaceX gave us a 12-hour ultimatum to accept a lowball offer for half the land’s value. We said, “Go fuck yourself, Elon Musk. We’ll see you in court.”

    So today, we’re announcing Day 7 of Cards Against Humanity Saves America: CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY SUES ELON MUSK FOR 15 MILLION DOLLARS.

    If we win, we’ll split the net proceeds equally among all 150,000 of you, up to $100 each. While this will never be enough to compensate you for the anguish you’ve experienced witnessing Elon Musk defile your once-verdant land—where wild horses galloped freely in the Texas moonlight—we think it’s a pretty good start. Unfortunately, Musk has way more money and lawyers than we do, so you’ll probably get, like, $2 tops. 

    If you want to increase the pressure on Elon, here’s something you can post on Twitter (the platform he wants you to call “X” for his own sexual gratification):

    In 2017, I paid Cards Against Humanity to protect a pristine plot of border land from Trump’s racist wall. But then an even richer, more racist billionaire—Elon Musk—stole my land and dumped his shit all over it. @ElonMusk owes me $100. #ElonOwesMe100Bucks www.ElonOwesYou100Dollars.com  

    With great vengeance and furious anger,

  6. If it’s in Texas, they have a stand your ground law. Fuck those neo-Nazis and anyone who helps them profit.

  7. Not an “invasion”. An invasion.

    They straight up took the land and fucked it up, and then low called an offer when they got caught.

    Let’s not pretend.

  8. spez_might_fuck_dogs on

    And yet people will say if you support CAH you’re a racist, sexist, transphobic, etc piece of shit, because you can make jokes like that in the game.

  9. The suit will just get passed down the line to the contractor.

    So though they are suing SpaceX, they are going to get restitution from the contractor SpaceX hired’s insurance carrier.
