Image description: Elon Musk & X @elonmusk • 42m Just bought a new PC laptop and it won’t let me use it unless I create a Microsoft account, which also means giving their Al access to my computer! This is messed up. There used to be an option to skip signing into or creating a Microsoft account. Are you seeing this too? This is not cool of Microsoft.

If you turn off wifi or don’t connect the computer to the internet, it will let you create a local account.
Also let’s you name it something other than your first initial followed by part of your last name. Which is so disgusting.
And a quick search would explain this to Elon.
