  "account": "In a quirky rivalry, the creators of the card game Cards Against Humanity are constructing a monument to mock SpaceX CEO Elon Musk in the town he's constructing in Texas. The town, known as Starbase, is a SpaceX rocket development and launch facility that's also a municipality. Located in Starbase, near the SpaceX executive housing, is an acre of land owned by Cards Against Humanity, purchased in 2017 with crowdfunding money.\n\nNow, Cards Against Humanity is employing that crowdfunding strategy in a new endeavor: an anti-Musk monument.

Despite reaching a settlement with SpaceX last year over a \"No Trespassing\" sign violation, Cards Against Humanity remains unfazed, as they're on track to unveil their anti-Musk monument.",

Already, ideas for what to put up are pouring in. Just across the U.S.-Mexico border on the southern tip of Texas sits Starbase , a SpaceX rocket development and launch facility that’s also a municipality. It’s a modern…",
