Elon Musk, the CEO of X (formerly Twitter), recently expressed dissatisfaction with his new Windows laptop, reaching out to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella for assistance.

In his tweet directed at Satya Nadella, Musk stated,
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 AI 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?
“Satya, I don’t mean to be a pest, but please allow people setting up a new Windows PC to skip creating a Microsoft account. This option disappears if the computer is connected to WiFi. Also, even if you do want to sign up, it won’t allow you to use a work email address, and I only *have* work email addresses.”
As of now, there is no response from Satya Nadella to Musk’s tweet.
The Tesla boss, Musk shared on X about his new laptop, expressing frustration and emphasized his reluctance to give Microsoft AI access to his computer and indicated that there used to be an option to skip signing in or creating a Microsoft account.
