Cards Against Humanity gets settlement from SpaceX, plans pack of Elon Musk cards

In a notable legal development, Cards Against Humanity has reached a settlement with SpaceX concerning a contentious land dispute along the U.S.-Mexico border. The party game company previously filed a lawsuit against SpaceX for allegedly taking over a property it purchased in 2017 to thwart former President Trump's border wall initiative. The lawsuit, initiated in September 2024 in Cameron County District Court, sought $15 million in damages for the unauthorized use of the land. Cards Against Humanity claimed that SpaceX filled the area with construction materials and equipment without permission. After extensive negotiations over the past year, the game company has confirmed that a settlement was reached just weeks before a trial was set to begin on November 3. While specific terms of the settlement remain confidential, Cards Against Humanity expressed satisfaction with the outcome, noting that SpaceX admitted to trespassing during the discovery phase of the case. This acknowledgment provided a sense of validation for the company, which had relied on donations from supporters to acquire the land. In a message to its backers, Cards Against Humanity shared that a trial would likely have resulted in more expenses than benefits, given the complexities of Texas law regarding legal fees. Instead of monetary compensation, the company plans to offer its loyal supporters a unique pack of humorous cards themed around Elon Musk, which can be acquired through a special sign-up link. The company's statement also highlighted their commitment to restoring the land to its original condition, free from debris and devoid of any border wall remnants. This settlement and the upcoming card pack have generated considerable excitement among fans of the game.
