Cards Against Humanity is offering $10 memberships to join a design committee for a proposed monument mocking Elon Musk, with an active product page inviting signups. The plan centers on a parcel near SpaceX’s Starbase in Cameron County, Texas — land the company bought in 2017 via crowdfunding and later used in a 2024 trespass lawsuit that settled in 2025. The company says 10% of profits from select new products will help fund the project, but no permits, design, exact site, timeline, or fundraising goal have been announced.

Cards Against Humanity is selling $10 memberships to join what it calls the "Official Elon Musk Is A Sad Little [Expletive] With No Friends Monument Design Committee," a participatory campaign to design a monument aimed at lampooning Elon Musk. The company has an active product page inviting supporters to sign up, and it says a portion of profits from new product releases will help fund the effort.
Background
In 2017 Cards Against Humanity purchased a parcel of land in Cameron County, Texas, via a high‑profile crowdfunding drive opposing then‑President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall. The Associated Press reported that roughly 150,000 people contributed about $15 each to acquire the property.
Legal History
The same parcel later became the subject of litigation. In 2024 Cards Against Humanity sued SpaceX, alleging the company had trespassed on the land and used it to store gravel, machinery, vehicles, generators and construction materials. The complaint sought $15 million in damages and said the alleged unauthorized occupation infringed the property owners’ rights.
According to reporting by TechCrunch and the Associated Press, the parties reached a settlement in 2025. Cards Against Humanity said SpaceX admitted to trespassing during discovery; the financial terms of the settlement were not disclosed, and no formal public statement from SpaceX was reported in the sources reviewed.
The New Campaign
The current campaign centers on a $10 design‑committee signup. Cards Against Humanity frames the membership as a blend of protest and entertainment directed at Musk personally. The company's product description invites Musk to reflect on whether he is, in its words, "a sad little [Expletive] with no friends."
Separately, Cards Against Humanity says 10% of profits from certain new products — including a "Bad Billionaires Pack" and a 300‑card "Super Box" planned for 2026 — will be allocated toward the monument. However, as of available coverage there is no confirmed construction timeline, architectural design, precise monument location, required permits, or overall fundraising target; the initiative currently exists as a committee and a public concept.
What We Know (And Don’t)
Confirmed: Active product page for $10 committee signups; parcel sits near SpaceX’s Starbase in Cameron County; land was bought in 2017 via crowdfunding; a 2024 trespass lawsuit against SpaceX was settled in 2025.
Unconfirmed: No announced construction date, permit filings, final design, confirmed monument location, or disclosed fundraising total.
USA Today noted the public announcement around August 14, 2026, and reporting reviewed did not include a formal response from SpaceX about the monument proposal. Over the past decade, Cards Against Humanity has repeatedly used this Cameron County parcel as the focus of public stunts — first as an anti‑wall purchase, later as the center of litigation, and now as the site of a participatory campaign to design an insulting monument. Whether interpreted as bold marketing or an elaborate cultural provocation, the sequence has drawn consistent attention.
