Makers of the humorous adult party game Cards Against Humanity say that SpaceX has trespassed on and damaged land it owns near the U.S.-Mexico border.
Cards Against Humanity purchased the plot of land in Cameron County in 2017 to send a political message against President Donald Trump's border wall. The company used a supporter-funded campaign. Around 150,000 people contributed $15 towards purchasing the property.
Since the purchase, Cards Against Humanity says it has maintained the property in its natural state and placed a "No Trespassing" sign at the perimeter.
They now claim in a lawsuit filed on Thursday that SpaceX has been illegally using the land for at least the last six months as a parking lot and storage area for the space company鈥檚 contractors.
They also say the company has dumped gravel and other debris on the property.
Cards Against Humanity is seeking $15 million dollars in damages from SpaceX, and a permanent injunction preventing them from using the site.
SpaceX did not respond to TPR's request for comment.
Cards Against Humanity has created a to publicize the lawsuit, noting their intention was to criticize to one billionaire's politics and they now find themselves at odds with another billionaire.
The popular game involves players completing fill-in-the-blank statements with usually offensive or politically incorrect statements. The Chicago-based company describes the game as "a party game for horrible people."
