Kagi AI summery:
Cards Against Humanity (CAH) is suing SpaceX for allegedly taking over a plot of land on the US/Mexico border that CAH purchased in 2017 to prevent the construction of Trump's border wall. CAH claims it maintained the land but SpaceX later moved construction equipment and materials onto the property without permission. The lawsuit seeks up to $15 million in damages to restore the land and cover losses, and also requests punitive damages. CAH says SpaceX never asked for permission to use the property and never apologized for the damage. The lawsuit includes before and after photos purporting to show SpaceX's use of the land.

And CAH's website all about it

Hold on, this is Texas, isn't it? I bet they could legally take ownership of the crap left on their land and sell it off. Is anyone able to confirm?

No.

But, depending on some specifics, if crap is left on the land long enough without CAH filing a lawsuit, SpaceX may be able to take ownership of the land!

Adverse possession is weird, and is why whenever someone tries to do something on your land you either get a contract laying out the terms of use or you sue them.

And never, ever, ever let your neighbor build a fence that crosses the property line.
