Cards Against Humanity Takes on Elon Musk, and You Could Get Paid
The wonderfully raunchy party game Cards Against Humanity is suing Elon Musk, and you might just get $100.

Cards Against Humanity, a self-described “party game for horrible people,” is taking on the richest person in the world, Elon Musk. In a statement posted on Musk’s own X (formerly known as Twitter), the company announced they are suing the billionaire for $15 million— and this game is not playing around.
Seven years ago, 150,000 concerned citizens donated $15 each to Cards Against Humanity in an effort to protect an empty plot of land along the U.S.-Mexico border from having a certain wall built on top of it.
Without Cards Against Humanity’s knowledge, this once-untouched plot of land is unrecognizable, having been crudely converted into a SpaceX (also owned by Musk) dumping ground. Everyone can agree, a major downgrade.
“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.”
The company refused a “lowball” offer to settle with Musk and is looking forward to having its day in court. Leave it to a game company to play chess instead of checkers.
A win for Cards Against Humanity is a win for its supporters. “If we win, we’ll equally split the lawsuit’s net proceeds among all 150,000 of our original subscribers, up to $100 each,” the statement promises.
The outrageous fill-in-the-blank party game, where players try to one-up each other with politically incorrect and shocking phrases, isn’t afraid to keep its promises. In 2014, the company made headlines for sending boxes of actual poop in the mail to 30,000 people on Black Friday.
We’re hoping more games will follow Cards Against Humanity’s suit and take on billionaires. I’d love to see that ol’ Monopoly Guy go up against Jeff Bezos and see what’s good.
