Remember Cards Against Humanity? That game we all use to play as teenagers. Well, its makers are suing Elon Musk's SpaceX.

The Tesla founder and Twitter owner is certainly not afraid of making enemies, and it appears Cards Against Humanity is next on his list.

The card game is suing Musk for $15 million, alleging his company SpaceX trespassed on and trashed their land on the Texas-Mexico border.

A filing that was issued on Thursday states Cards Against Humanity purchased the land via crowdfunding in 2017.

In a letter penned to their fans, Cards Against Humanity said: "Elon Musk’s SpaceX was building some space thing nearby, and he figured he could just dump his s**t all over our gorgeous plot of land without asking.

"After we caught him, SpaceX gave us a 12-hour ultimatum to accept a lowball offer for less than half our land’s value. We said, ‘Go f–k yourself, Elon Musk. We’ll see you in court.’”

They added: "So today, we’re announcing Day 7 of Cards Against Humanity Saves America: CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY SUES ELON MUSK FOR 15 MILLION DOLLARS.

"If we win, we’ll equally split the lawsuit's net proceeds among all 150,000 of our original subscribers, up to $100 each.

"While this isn’t enough to compensate our subscribers for the anguish they’ve suffered witnessing Elon Musk defile their once-verdant land - where wild horses galloped freely in the Texas moonlight - we think it’s a pretty good start."

The lawsuit states that Cards Against Humanity launched a campaign in 2017 while Donald Trump was US president to 'make it as time-consuming and expensive as possible' for the president to build his infamous border wall.

With money raised from fans, a vacant plot of land in Cameron County was purchased.

At the time of buying, the suit claims the land was 'untouched by development nor impacted in any way to affect its natural condition'.

However, the filing claims SpaceX, which owns a bunch of plots in the surrounding area, decided to ignore the 'no trespassing' sign.

The suit goes on to state Musk's company has cleared the land, with the tech mogul using the land for big projects.

"SpaceX’s abuse of this Property has not only destroyed its natural condition, but has also caused even greater harm to CAH by virtue of the damage it has caused to CAH’s relationship with its paying supporters," it states.

UNILAD has contacted Musk's representatives for comment.
