I'll try to stay on the non-politics side of things.Anyway, back in 2017, Cards Against Humanity (CAH) had a campaign against the planned "wall" between the USA and Mexico, and in order to make such a project harder crowdfunded a bit over $2M to buy some land along the border as well as retain a lawyer versed in eminent domain stuff. There was never any wall built in that area, so nothing much came of it. Until now.Turns out someone else is building in that area: SpaceX. And in the tradition of megacorps coming into rural areas to build stuff, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/spacex-texas-musk/" target="_blank">they've ruffled feathers among their neighbors and played fast and loose with various regulations.</a> And, as it turns out, they've been using CAH's land for storing crap and in the process destroyed any vegetation there. CAH are not fans of this, nor of Musk in general, and have filed a suit for $15M (of course, as Legal Eagle reminds us: anyone can sue anyone for anything, but it's then up to the courts to decide what damages will actually be). They have a <a href="https://www.cahsuesmusk.com/" target="_blank">site about the suit here</a> (warning: the site uses significantly more politically loaded language than what I've been using, and the language there is not grandma-friendly). I've also attached the initial filing to the post. I figured that with the nuTSR saga winding down, our resident legal scholars like [USER=7023840]@Snarf Zagyg[/USER] might enjoy something else to discuss.</blockquote>
