Elon Musk suggests he might buy Hasbro
Well, this is the forum for The Industry, I guess...
https://gamerant.com/elon-musk-buy-h...s-and-dragons/ Probably won't happen -- Musk talks a lot of nonsense he never follows up on. |

Hopefully it won't go through. I don't think the world is ready for d20 to be renamed dXX.

Re: Elon Musk suggests he might buy Hasbro
As I understand it (well, as of a decade ago), both Hasbro and Mattel were pretty much owned by the same groups of investors ... a left pocket-right pocket sort of thing.

Re: Elon Musk suggests he might buy Hasbro
If he offers substantially in excess of market value (like he did for Twitter) he'd probably be able to get it. I doubt he actually wants it, though, and he may have learned from Twitter (he tried to back out of buying Twitter, and Twitter's lawyers wouldn't let him).

Re: Elon Musk suggests he might buy Hasbro
There's nothing unbelievable about Hasbro being bought out, it's not that big. Musk, however, has a rather full plate at the moment, so I expect his goal is to make some noise and bully them into making changes he likes, rather than actually becoming responsible for it.
