😂 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 • 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?

It would be a matter of time before he then deduces FOSS is communism and tries (and fails) to buy Microsoft

Elon is a fucking moron who can’t use Google to find the simple work around.

How’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. 😂😂

I can’t decide if I’m more shocked that this implies he isn’t upgrading his PC every year, or that he’s setting them up himself.
