"How much is Hasbro?"
According to Visible Alpha, the short answer is: just a little bit less than $9 billion.
Why tell you about this? Because Elon Musk, Tesla’s (TSLA) CEO, among other things—including, as it happens, the world’s richest person—on Thursday asked exactly that on his social media platform X.
The question seems to have fueled speculation that Musk would be interested in buying the toy and game company—or, at least, the part of it responsible for the “Dungeons & Dragons” As other events in the news have led to speculation, Musk’s takeover target is also a fantasy game. Among others recently hypothesized: the cable network MSNBC, and Truth Social owner Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT).
"D&D," for its part, is wrapped into Hasbro's Wizards of the Coast segment, which also includes the "Magic: The Gathering" fantasy trading-card game.
Musk’s tweet obviously didn’t expressly indicate an interest in some kind of deal, but the market’s reaction—Hasbro (HAS) stock was recently up about 2% during Friday’s holiday-shortened session—illustrates the degree to which the multibillionaire’s words can influence markets.
