D&D General Elon Musk Wants To Know 'How Much Is Hasbro?'

Following the richest man in the world's attack on Wizards of the Coast for two paragraphs in the 500-page celebration of D&D, The Making of Original Dungeons & Dragons 1970-1977, Elon Musk--who bought Twitter not that long ago--wants to know how much D&D's owner Hasbro would cost.

After the public sharing on Twitter of Jason Tondro's (who wrote the book’s foreword) private Facebook posts, Musk replied "How much is Hasbro?"

Hasbro's estimated capitalization is currently $8.71 billion, with $3.95 billion of debt.

It was on 21st December 2017 when Musk similarly enquired "How much is it?" before proceeding to make a bid for Twitter. He later tried to back out of the deal, but was forced to buy the platform for $44 billion in June 2022. Current estimates by investment firm Fidelity put the platform at a value 80% less than when he bought it, with a worth of only about $9.4 billion.

Could you stop giving attention to this loser?

I'm not a fan of these super rich people, but I did like the Bill Gates version a bit more.

I'd take Elon Musk over Espteined, Sunblocker, Insect Vaccine Carrier Maker, 50% owner of US farmland, Hurter of African and Indian children Bill Gates anyday.
With Musk you know what you get.

The quest for owning real money should bore him now... so it's time for the quest to own monopoly money!

Burying your head in the sand and pretending they don't exist doesn't make them go away.

I just laughed and ignored him when he 'joked' about buying Twitter. Now here we are a year later, and Xitter has been transformed into a far-right cesspit where sexist, racist, and anti LGBT content thrives.

It's likely that something new and shiny will distract him shortly.

Would the hoard of an ancient Wyrm do?

Are you talking to me?

No. It's my job to report TTRPG news. Not just the TTRPG news that Not a Decepticon is personally interested in.

You are welcome to not pay attention to the thread.

Hope that helps.

The problem is that Musk craves attention and by giving him the spotlight you are contributing to him actually buying Hasbro because he WANTS attention the community gives him when he says crap like that.

This is assuming that Musk makes a successful Perception check and checks out the forums on EN World to notice the threads that are talking about him.

Man, how fragile is this mans ego. He truly compensates a lot. Sometimes I even pity him, he seems so miserable. Unfortunate that the richest man alive is such a baby. But whatever, it won't change how I play D&D (or other TTRPG)

If Musk rage buys Hasbro, you can blame Tondo.

No, I will blame the perpetrator. Please lets not switch responsibilities around.

He is clearly the guy who googles his own name, and I bet you someone already forwarded him this thread on twitter.
