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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

Is it really a broken clock situation if you’re guilty of the very thing you’re complaining about?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, this is just pot calling the kettle black, or seeing the splinter in his neighbor's eye but not the beam in his own (or whatever it is in English).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I have never heard that idiom and I love it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

It's one of many things out of the bible that have pretty much just become a saying (the splinter/beam one)

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

Yeah this is absolutely one of them. Elon Musk is right in this case, although he's still an idiot

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Yes it's just you. There is still a local account option in windows 11.

There are enough other things to hate Microsoft for but this is not one of them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

I don't think there is anything for Elon to hate Microsoft for considering he does all the same things.

The super genius apparently doesn't hate them enough to bother using a free alternative that doesn't have these issues.

Unelected immigrant with illegal unfettered access to all data in the entire federal government complains about having to have a microsoft account to use Windows.

Don't you need to create an X account just to look at posts on X?

[–] bestboyfriendintheworld 16 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Use xcancel.com to see tweets without an account.

Don't you need to give all your information to AI if you have ever interacted with the government in the past?

He's so fucking stupid.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 19 hours ago

Wait the richest asshole in the world uses regular windows like poor commoners?

Because he has access to many sensitive data, shouldn't be using windows enterprise with a finely tuned group policy by some AD guru??

[–] [email protected] 5 points 14 hours ago

Nope, the Steam Deck has been my daily driver, I love it.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

LOL yeah dude you just

In the setup page before you select language Open cmd with Shift + F10 and type OOBE\BYPASSNRO

Then set up the computer without internet

[–] [email protected] 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Or just use Rufus to make the ISO and check the box to bypass creating an account. I'm dual booting Windows 11 right now without one.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

No I am not seeing it I use Linux

[–] [email protected] 12 points 21 hours ago

See? That's why you're not a genius like Elon Musk! He knows that Linux is too hard!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

For the world’s smartest guy, he sure is stupid

[–] [email protected] 13 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Anyone who thinks he's the smartest guy at anything has been organically lobotomized by a brain worm

[–] [email protected] 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Wait we don’t live in a meritocracy after all?

Somebody's mad Bill said he was craaaaaaazy

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's simple z we buy Microsoft

And then proceed to run it off a cliff

Oh please, musk, buy Microsoft, please please

[–] [email protected] 5 points 22 hours ago

My god that would be funny

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

We know how this ends

  1. Elon complains
  2. Elon buys
  3. Elon destroys
[–] [email protected] 14 points 23 hours ago

If Elon destroyed MS, that would be a net positive.

[–] guiguinofake 3 points 17 hours ago

Click domain join instead and then create a local account

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That option only shows up when you set up Pro edition unfortunately.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (4 children)

Shift F10 opens a command window, OOBE\bypassnro

Or run ipconfig /release

This will disconnect your internet connection for a moment and allow you to create a local account.
