Kagi AI summery:
Cards Against Humanity (CAH) is suing SpaceX for allegedly taking over a plot of land on the US/Mexico border that CAH purchased in 2017 to prevent the construction of Trump's border wall. CAH claims it maintained the land but SpaceX later moved construction equipment and materials onto the property without permission. The lawsuit seeks up to $15 million in damages to restore the land and cover losses, and also requests punitive damages. CAH says SpaceX never asked for permission to use the property and never apologized for the damage. The lawsuit includes before and after photos purporting to show SpaceX's use of the land.

And CAH's website all about it

Of all the companies that sell you shit, I’m glad the company that sold people literal shit in a box is doing good with their money and pissing off other companies that sell people lies and bullshit.

I vaguely recall a few years back there was a company who was digging a hole... Do you know if that was CAH?

Edit: it was, in fact, CAH who dug a giant hole: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/11/27/503502142/people-donated-nearly-100-000-to-dig-a-big-pointless-hole-in-the-ground

Yep, they dug a hole and then filled it back in, but not before "(feeding) the hole a banana"

Why aren't you giving all this money to charity?

A few years back they sold me a box of onions covered in everything bagel seasoning. I'm doing my part!

I'll admit, I did not have cards against humanity suing Elon Musk on my 2024 bingo card

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Surprising, but not very. CAH are the best people.

lol I’m pretty sure I own a slice of that. I remember buying into it when it was being set up

This is how I found out!

[-] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 45 points 1 month ago

Cards Against Humanity said it filed the lawsuit in part to protect its "longstanding reputation as a company that makes outrageous promises and actually keeps them." The lawsuit claims that the incident "has already damaged the reputation of CAH with its supporters for allowing a billionaire such as Musk to essentially steal the Property from CAH without remorse or even explanation."

Hilarious, and visionary!

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

God, I love the CAH people.

[-] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 24 points 1 month ago

CAH Products for those whose values match with buying land to prevent border wall bullshit and suing SpaceX.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 23 points 1 month ago

According to libertarians, this means they have the right to shoot Elon Musk in the face.

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 23 points 1 month ago

This isn’t oniony. It’s just great news.

[-] KickMeElmo@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 month ago

Hold on, this is Texas, isn't it? I bet they could legally take ownership of the crap left on their land and sell it off. Is anyone able to confirm?

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 32 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No.

But, depending on some specifics, if crap is left on the land long enough without CAH filing a lawsuit, SpaceX may be able to take ownership of the land!

Adverse possession is weird, and is why whenever someone tries to do something on your land you either get a contract laying out the terms of use or you sue them.

And never, ever, ever let your neighbor build a fence that crosses the property line.
