😂 Elon Musk just crawled from under a rock and discovered something that has been bothering people for years. It is just too funny not to share this one. (files.mastodon.social)

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.

Right, but my mom and dad would not even think that there is a way around it. They wouldn’t even know to look.

Sure, but are they ones who care about not having a Microsoft account?

They might even think it is convenient.

If someone is privacy aware enough, they’ll find the solution themselves.

Bingo.
