In a surprising turn of events that was on nobody’s 2024 bingo card, the creators of the popular party game, Cards Against Humanity (CAH), are suing Elon Musk’s company, SpaceX, over a land dispute.
“We have terrible news. Seven years ago, 150,000 people paid us $15 to protect a pristine parcel of land on the US-Mexico border from racist billionaire Donald Trump’s very stupid wall,” the makers of the game stated on their website. They claimed that after trying to protect their land from Trump, Musk “snuck up behind them” and damaged the land with “gravel, tractors and space garbage.”
Musk and his company were in the process of building something nearby and ignorantly trespassed by dumping their construction equipment all over the land that belonged to the CAH creators. When the CAH creators caught on to what they were doing, SpaceX gave them a 12-hour ultimatum to accept a lowball offer that was worth less than half of CAH’s land’s value.
This resulted in the CAH creators retaliating by suing SpaceX for $15 million. If they win, the CAH creators plan to equally split the lawsuit’s net proceeds among all the original 150,000 people who donated $15 for the protection of the land that Musk has now laid his greedy hands on.
The vile actions of SpaceX are just a reflection of Musk and other multibillionaires as a whole. They do not care about the environment and believe that they are too rich to consider the fairness of their activities, as evidenced by the pitiful ultimatum SpaceX gave the CAH creators, when they were the ones who ruined the land in the first place.
The morally virtuous thing to do in this situation is to support the CAH creators in this lawsuit. It is important for CAH to fight against the blatant greed and disrespect by helping the 150,000 individuals who have been robbed of the land they tried to protect. “With great vengeance and furious anger,” SpaceX and Musk must be put in their place.
