๐Ÿ˜‚ 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 โ€ข 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.

I don't use Microsoft or Tesla products, myself, but don't Teslas also have an assortment of DRM, "phone home", surveillance, and network control anti-features?

Seems to be a degree of low self-awareness going on here? ๐Ÿค”

@nixCraft he finally sobered up?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

@nixCraft what device did he use before

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

@[email protected] He mostly uses Apple products and has mentioned Linux a few times, but he may needs to use some accounting or some crap software that only runs on Windows. So, he bought a Dell or Amazon laptop, hoping for a quick setup. He wants to keep his data private on that laptop, but Microsoft has other ideas, including AI that is forced on everyone. So now he set Microsoft on fire. Just too funny

@[email protected] Oh thx for the explanation in detail. Can be dramatically amusing that he has lived in a vacuum linux environment for so long if it is real
