Which is just a horrifying idea. It probably isn't serious, but on the
off chance it is, I'm against it. But I prefer to look on the bright
side of things:
 If anything would break me of my D&D habit, Musk's involvement
certainly would. The guy is scum and I don't want to be near anything
that has anything to do with the guy. If he bought D&D, I wouldn't
give that company a dime of my money, and would probably disassociate
myself with the game just to lessen any support -however minor it
might be- that might garner Musk any more profit.

Well, I definitely wouldn't change anything about my spending habits. The only thing I bought even related to official modern DnD the last few years were some of the WizKids minis.

 Maybe I'd take up Harn. Apparently that's making something of a
comeback ;-)

Harn has a few issues of it's own (namely: it's bloody expensive compared to everything else), but it has it's own merits. I think the original HarnWorld is the most well-thought-out DnD/ADnD campaign setting ever made. And I really dig the later products as well, although mostly for the worldbuilding in itself.
