Cards Against Humanity Is Suing Elon Musk For $15 Million

As a gamer with a penchant for dark humor and a soft spot for underdogs, I find myself siding with Cards Against Humanity in this peculiar feud. It’s not every day that a beloved card game company takes on a billionaire in a legal battle over protected land. The audacity of Elon Musk, known for his ambitious projects and eccentric persona, allegedly turning a pristine plot into a dumping ground is quite appalling.


The company behind the popular and somewhat explicit card game called “Cards Against Humanity” has declared intentions to take legal action against Elon Musk, who is a notable entrepreneur in space travel. This move comes after allegations that waste from SpaceX’s manufacturing facility was disposed of onto protected land owned by “Cards Against Humanity.

In an unusual approach, the well-known, witty card game company publicized their lawsuit through a unique website titled ElonOwesYou100Dollars.com, where you can find information about the legal case.

7 years ago, we purchased a parcel of land situated on the US-Mexico border with the intention of preventing Donald Trump’s racially charged wall from being built.
However, this year, another extremely wealthy and prejudiced individual—@ElonMusk—damaged our land using heavy machinery and waste, prompting us to file a lawsuit seeking $15 million in compensation.

On our homepage, a frank announcement is made: ‘Regrettable news to share.’ Back in 2015, over 150,000 individuals entrusted us with $15 to safeguard an untouched piece of land on the US-Mexico border from Donald Trump’s ill-conceived wall. Sadly, another affluent and bigoted billionaire, Elon Musk, managed to catch us off guard and damaged that land extensively by laying gravel, using tractors, and leaving space debris.

“Check out these pictures! One is from 2017 and the other shows the same place today. It seems like something has changed drastically, doesn’t it?” or “Look at the difference! The first photo is from 2017 and the second one is recent. Something definitely went wrong.

As a gamer putting it in my own words, here’s how I might rephrase that sentence:

According to Cards Against Humanity, Elon Musk’s company, SpaceX, was constructing something related to space in the vicinity. They seemingly thought it was acceptable to dispose of their waste on our beautiful piece of property without seeking permission first. However, when we discovered this, SpaceX presented us with an ultimatum: either accept a low offer for less than the actual value of our land within 12 hours.

So how did Cards Against Humanity respond?

“We said, ‘Go f**k yourself, Elon Musk. We’ll see you in court.'”

The statement goes on to announce that Cards Against Humanity is suing Musk for $15 million.

The website indicates that if we win the lawsuit, we will evenly distribute the total earnings to all 150,000 of our initial subscribers, up to $100 per person. Although this money won’t make up for the distress they’ve experienced watching Elon Musk desecrate their former green land, where wild horses used to roam freely under the Texas moonlight, we believe it’s a decent beginning.

As a staunch supporter, I’d rephrase it like this: “Regardless of Musk’s attempts to rectify the situation on our cherished land, it doesn’t erase the harm done to our esteemed reputation. After all, 150,000 generous contributors trusted us with their valuable funds, and we made a solemn promise to shield this land from bigoted tycoons and their questionable endeavors.

The statement is signed, “With great vengeance and furious anger, Cards Against Humanity,” referencing the (fictional) Bible verse Ezekiel 25:17, which appeared in cult classic Pulp Fiction.

In a lighthearted fashion, Cards Against Humanity concludes their statement by humorously suggesting that they would also be content with receiving Twitter.com as payment.

As of now, neither Elon Musk nor SpaceX has responded to the accusations about the supposed harm to land in Texas, or to the legal action itself.
