    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.

    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

    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…

    Political relevance be damned, anyway…

    You can press SHIFT+F10 keys to open Command Prompt.

    Execute OOBE\BYPASSNRO command then.

    After this, setup will reboot the computer and after reboot, you’ll get a new option I don’t have Internet or Continue with limited setup to skip the Internet requirement.

      I did this when installing Windows 11 for a friend, was also my first experience installing Windows 11 as well. Having to open a command line during the installation process really nullifies the “Windows easy” and “linux hard” stereotype.

    I am pretty sure he uses Linux because he said something once that seemed linuxy. I forget what. Does he seriously use Windows or is this more “edgy humor”?

    With Linux so easy to use, it’s hard to understand why someone would use Windows unless they had a really low intelligence and struggled to learn anything new (like they had a brain disease, developmental issues, etc.) or if they were using it it in an enterprise or virtual setting.

    It must be a joke.

    WHO THE FUCK SAYS “PC LAPTOP”??

    Did he type that from his laptop phone? Maybe speech-to-text from his cell phone smartwatch?

        In that case it would be a Windows laptop. PC stands for Personal Computer. It has nothing to do with the OS.

                Even if that were true, does that mean that we should all accept it and drink the Apple Kool-Aid? A PC was, is and will always be a Personal Computer.

                  Kinda? Whether you like it not that’s just how society functions. You either acknowledge what society decides or you end up becoming the guy who argues that drawing swastikas doesn’t make you a nazi because it’s a symbol of luck.

                  And if you want to go down the rabbit hole of “PC is personal computer” good luck defining what a computer is without defaulting to what society thinks a computer is, because technically your phone is a computer that is for your personal use. Your phone is a PC. In a sense so is your TV and your gaming console and the steam deck and possibly even your fridge. Maybe even your car.

                  Save yourself the headache and use PC as you understand it while accepting that others have a different meaning for PC.

    Okay, this was a year ago. Still, why is anyone at that level setting up there own computer? I would pay someone to do it.

          And then he would have cried like a little bitch and go to GNU and tell them he is going to buy Linux for a jillion dollars and then get Pikachu face when he finds out that he can’t control the kernel.

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