Cards Against Humanity and SpaceX settled the trespass lawsuit in September 2025, before a jury trial scheduled for November 3. The settlement terms were not disclosed. Cards Against Humanity said it received no money from SpaceX and that SpaceX had removed construction equipment from the land.
What happened in the Cards Against Humanity–SpaceX lawsuit?
Cards Against Humanity sued SpaceX over a parcel it owned in Cameron County, far South Texas, near SpaceX’s Starbase launch and testing site. In its 2024 petition, the game company alleged that SpaceX or its contractors entered and occupied the land without permission and made physical changes to it. The petition asserted trespass and other claims and sought $15 million in damages. Those were allegations and a requested amount, not findings by a court or money awarded to the company. The original petition sets out the claims.
The parties settled in September 2025, weeks before the scheduled November 3 jury trial, according to the Associated Press. The case therefore ended without a jury deciding whether SpaceX or its contractors trespassed. AP’s settlement report said the terms were not made public.
Did Cards Against Humanity get money from SpaceX?
Cards Against Humanity said it received no money from SpaceX. That answers whether the company reported receiving a payout; it does not reveal every term of the settlement, which was not disclosed. The $15 million figure was the amount sought in the 2024 petition, not a settlement payment or judgment.

The company’s spokesperson said a trial would have cost more than the company was likely to win. That was the company’s stated reason for settling, not a disclosed settlement term. AP reported the company’s explanation and its statement that no money was received.
What did the company say about the land?
Cards Against Humanity said SpaceX had removed its construction equipment and that it would work with a local landscaping company to restore the property. The Texas Newsroom reproduced the company’s statement: “Soon, the land will be returned to its natural state: no space garbage, and still completely free of pointless [expletive] border walls.” The Texas Newsroom’s report attributes that statement to the company.

The company bought the land in 2017 as part of a campaign opposing construction of the U.S.-Mexico border wall. AP reported that 150,000 people each contributed $15 toward the purchase. Cards Against Humanity had told supporters that they might receive proceeds if the company prevailed, which helps explain why a possible payout drew attention. In the settlement, however, the company said it received no money. AP reported the donor figures and campaign background.
