The card game maker raised $150K from 12,000+ contributors for a monument it says is designed to protest Musk's operations near its Texas land parcel.
Cards Against Humanity has raised about $150,000 from more than 12,000 contributors for a monument near SpaceX's Starbase facility in Texas that the company says is designed to "f---k with Elon Musk."
The card game maker, known for its raunchy fill-in-the-blank products, organized the "Official Elon Musk is a Sad Little B---h with No Friends Monument Design Committee" on Thursday and began collecting $10 donations.
A spokesperson for Cards Against Humanity told Business Insider the company owns a parcel of land near Starbase that it purchased in 2017 to slow the first Trump administration's border wall plans. SpaceX's operations at the rocket development site have damaged the property, the spokesperson said.
"When we first purchased this land, it was a beautiful lot surrounded by nothing but a peaceful river and open fields," the spokesperson wrote. "Now, it's surrounded by a 'town' called 'Starbase' – corporate hellscape littered with broken rockets and ugly mansions for Musk's s---t-eating executives."
The land dispute went through the courts in 2024, when Cards Against Humanity sued SpaceX and reached a confidential settlement the following year. The game company said at the time that SpaceX later removed its equipment from the property.
A SpaceX spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment.
Starbase, located just north of the U.S.-Mexico border near Brownsville, Texas, is SpaceX's massive rocket launch and development site. The surrounding area incorporated as the City of Starbase in 2025, with a population of more than 500 residents, though thousands work at the complex.
The Cards Against Humanity effort is not the only monument project near Starbase. A French foundry group, Atelier Missor, shared photos on X last week showing progress on a 50-foot titanium statue of Prometheus, the Greek titan who stole fire from Zeus and gave it to humanity.
"In a few days, Prometheus will stand 50 ft tall, holding high the torch of the West. Starbase, Texas," the group wrote.
Atelier Missor wrote on X last year that it wished to offer the statue to Starbase, adding that "SpaceX makes humanity dream." The group has publicly reached out to Musk about its plans. Musk has interacted with Atelier Missor's X posts before, giving the group props for some of its concepts.
Atelier Missor did not respond to a request for comment.
Another monument was put up near Starbase two years ago, commissioned by a crypto outfit that launched a memecoin called ElonRWA. The cofounder, who has only been identified online as Louis XXII, told Artnews at the time that the statue was meant to resemble a poorly-drawn version of Musk that had gone viral.
"We wanted to bring this meme into the real world," Louis XXII told Artnews. "How could we have an impact on the real world? We are a bunch of guys on computers active on X, but we wanted to touch more people."
That statue was defaced with large gashes around the right cheek and chin in April 2025, ABC News reported. The vandalism occurred around the time of nationwide protests against Trump and Musk, when the CEO helped lead DOGE's efforts to cut federal spending. A large pink sticker resembling a bandage was later placed on the cheek.
