Speculation: Chances of MS pulling a "Elon Musk" on Activision Blizzard deal?

No. Just the IP value alone is too big for MS to ignore. Especially in the long road, since this gen has been shockingly poor on exclusives for both MS and Sony thus far.

What makes you think Sony has had a poor showing for exclusives? 

But I agree that the IP is too valuable for MS to not go through with the deal.

It's a mix of things. There's a lot of brand exclusives (exclusives to PS, but released for both PS4-5, so no exclusives), remakes games already on PS4 (which, PS5 being BC, are kinda moot) and a general slowing on the game development, to the point I fear we'll see many delays. The exclusive list will pick up eventually, but either 2023 or 2024. This affects XBox as well, but I'm not that up to date with their lineup.
