Key Takeaways

Key Takeaways

  • Cards Against Humanity seeks $10 donations to build an anti-Musk monument near SpaceX’s Starbase.
  • SpaceX admitted to trespassing on Cards Against Humanity’s Texas land during a 2024 lawsuit discovery process.
  • Cards Against Humanity converted one 2017 crowdfunded parcel into three successive high-profile political stunts.

For $10, you can join a committee dedicated to insulting driverless Tesla rival Elon Musk in stone. Cards Against Humanity announced what it calls the “Official Elon Musk is a Sad Little [Expletive] with No Friends Monument Design Committee,” a proposed monument the company wants to erect near SpaceX’s Starbase development in Cameron County, Texas.

This is not a hypothetical. There is a product page.

The Land, the Lawsuit, and the Generator Someone Parked There

A 2017 crowdfunding purchase and a 2024 trespass complaint turned one South Texas parcel into the most litigated piece of card-game real estate in American history.

Cards Against Humanity purchased a parcel of Cameron County land in 2017 through a crowdfunding campaign opposing then-President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall. According to the Associated Press, approximately 150,000 people contributed $15 each to acquire the property.

Seven years later, that same parcel became a legal dispute. Cards Against Humanity sued SpaceX in 2024, alleging the company had trespassed on the land and used it to store gravel, machinery, vehicles, generators, and construction materials. The company also alleged SpaceX could effectively seize your land rights through unauthorized occupation, and sought $15 million in damages, according to Reuters.

The lawsuit settled in 2025, confirmed by TechCrunch. Cards Against Humanity said SpaceX admitted to trespassing during the discovery process, per AP reporting; the financial terms of the settlement were not publicly disclosed. The cited coverage did not report a formal public statement from SpaceX on the settlement’s outcome.

What the Monument Actually Is (So Far)

The campaign asks supporters to join a named design committee for $10, though no construction plan, permits, or confirmed location exist yet.

The campaign’s centerpiece is the $10 design-committee sign-up, which Cards Against Humanity frames as a collective act of protest and entertainment directed at Musk personally. The company’s product page describes the monument as an invitation for Musk to reflect on whether he is, in its words, “a sad little [Expletive] with no friends.”

Separately, 10% of profits from certain new products will also go toward the monument. Those products include what the company calls the “Bad Billionaires Pack” and a “Super Box” containing 300 new cards for 2026, according to Cards Against Humanity’s website.

The sources reviewed for this article do not identify a confirmed construction date, architectural design, precise monument location, permits, or total fundraising goal. The monument, at this stage, exists as a committee and a vision. USA Today reported the public announcement around August 14, 2026, and the cited coverage did not report a formal SpaceX response to the proposal.

The Broader Pattern Here

Cards Against Humanity has converted one disputed land title into a decade-long series of political stunts, each louder than the last.

Cards Against Humanity has now turned the same South Texas parcel into three distinct cultural moments: a protest against a border wall, a trespass lawsuit against a major aerospace company, and a participatory monument campaign asking the public to help design an insult in permanent form. That is either very clever brand strategy or the most elaborate use of a Cameron County land title in recorded history.

Probably both.
