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.

Because this is the stupid timeline, how long before Elon Musk becomes a huge and vocal open-source nerd and moves all Teslas onto GNU Hurd?

Elon is a fucking moron who canโ€™t use Google to find the simple work around.

Howโ€™s he supposed to get on the Internet without a PC? What, does he live in some techbro future where everyone has a handheld computer?

He should use a Chromebook instead. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I canโ€™t decide if Iโ€™m more shocked that this implies he isnโ€™t upgrading his PC every year, or that heโ€™s setting them up himself.
