SpaceX settled a lawsuit with the makers of the popular card game Cards Against Humanity last month after they claimed Elon Musk's company trespassed on and damaged some of their property.
The settlement was reached before a jury trial was scheduled to start on Nov. 3, the Associated Press reported. Neither company disclosed the terms of the settlement.
“We’re happy to have stood up to a bully like Musk,” Cards Against Humanity said in a statement to The New York Times.
The company told the Times that it was barred from speaking further on the settlement.
Cards Against Humanity sued SpaceX for $15 million.
The complaint, filed in Cameron County District Court in September 2024, stated that the land along the U.S.-Mexico border was kept "in its natural state." Photographs showed the land filled with equipment and materials not belonging to Cards Against Humanity.
“In short, SpaceX has treated the Property as its own for at least six (6) months without regard for CAH’s property rights nor the safety of anyone entering what has become a worksite that is presumably governed by OSHA safety requirements,” the complaint read.
SpaceX offered to buy the land at half its value, Cards Against Humanity previously claimed. They then proceeded to file the lawsuit.
“The upside is that SpaceX has removed their construction equipment from our land and we’re able to work with a local landscaping company to restore the land to its natural state: devoid of space garbage and pointless border walls," Cards Against Humanity told the AP.
