I saw some news outlets say that this was because he loved D&D so much but knew it had to be something else.
And yep, I was exactly right for his motivations. The current Senior Designer and Project Lead for Dungeons and Dragons gave the most lukewarm criticism of the racism in the earliest versions of D&D, and Elon Musk threw a fit over it.
This man is so easily offended, it’s ridiculous. This is what happens when you grow up the son of an emerald mine owner in apartheid South Africa and attend private schools that only allow white boys to attend.
It’s wild to me that more people don’t talk about that fact because it explains literally everything about this man.
