But to be certain of their identity, we needed more proof.
By Kolina Koltai Verified, Foeke Postma| Bellingcat Verified Elon Musk’s SpaceX has been accused of trespassing on land owned by US game company, Cards Against Humanity, for more than six months as per a lawsuit filed and announced on September 19, 2024. However, satellite imagery shows that the land has been in use for more than 12 months. At time of writing, SpaceX had not replied to our request for comment.

Bellingcat
Bellingcat is an independent nonprofit investigative collective that specializes in open source intelligence (OSINT) research. Founded in 2014 by Eliot Higgins, it has developed innovative digital forensic methods to investigate global conflicts, human rights abuses, and transnational crimes. The organization operates as a decentralized network with over 30 staff and contributors across more than 20 countries. Bellingcat focuses on investigative research related to war crimes, assassinations, and disinformation campaigns. It offers training programs to journalists, activists, and legal professionals, having trained over 4,000 individuals in OSINT techniques. The Global Authentication Project (GAP) is a volunteer network that crowdsources the verification of digital evidence. Additionally, Bellingcat collaborates with judicial bodies, including the International Criminal Court, to integrate OSINT into legal proceedings. Its findings are widely cited by international media and have contributed to significant investigations, such as the MH17 incident and the Skripal poisoning case.
