    Remember when it was possible to browse Twitter unrestricted without having to sign up with an account? Those were good times.

      My exact first thought. If he’s going to abuse his power and force govt services to provide twitter updates it should be accessible to all without restriction.

      The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) on Saturday said it will stop e-mailing news organizations and reporters with updates about two plane crashes that occurred earlier this week.
      Moving forward, the federal agency tasked with investigating transportation-related accidents and disasters said news organizations and reporters will have to follow the agency’s official account on X

    So the “tech genius” doesn’t know how to install windows without a Microsoft account and doesn’t know how to Google it?

    May I introduce the man who wants you to think he is a genius!

    Thanks Elon for being so transparently incompetent.

    The fact he’s too stupid to Google “do I have to use a Microsoft account to login to Windows 11” is astounding. People believe this guy engineers rockets, laughable.

      The number of times people have told me, “well SpaceX engineers have been quoted as saying he’s very competent!” Yeah, how big was their bonus after that?

        Companies that function have Musk handlers. Twitter and now seemingly Tesla have failed to keep him at bay and you can see the end results.

        In two years time there will be retrospective articles about how could the country have let him fuck the government up so bad, how did no one see this coming, why did no one stop him… Etc

    For anyone reading this that has to install Windows, when you get to the point where it asks you to log into a Microsoft account, hit shift+F10, type oobe\bypassnro into the command prompt and after it reboots select “I don’t have an account”…

    I would still maintain that Linux is a better option though.

      Yeah but with Linux you have to open up a terminal and input cryptic commands someone on the internet gave you in order to stop the distro from spying on you… /s

        This is where you lost me. Literally no one thinks this. Even the most anti-Linux folks on the planet don’t pretend Linux spies on you more than Microsoft…

      If only there was a sort of consumer protection bureau of some sort. To regulate these types of things…

    This guy is the definition of stupidity, Microsoft has many things to be hated on but this is not one of them. He is complaining just like the average Windows user
