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

Your comment shows up twice. Which Lemmy client are you using?
Web and Voyager in iOS. The web front end of ah.itjust.works has been a bit sluggish today though and sometimes showed errors when posting.
Don’t you need to give all your information to AI if you have ever interacted with the government in the past?

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
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.
No I am not seeing it I use Linux
See? That’s why you’re not a genius like Elon Musk! He knows that Linux is too hard!
For the world’s smartest guy, he sure is stupid
Anyone who thinks he’s the smartest guy at anything has been organically lobotomized by a brain worm
Wait we don’t live in a meritocracy after all?
Opposite
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??
It’s simple z we buy Microsoft
And then proceed to run it off a cliff
Oh please, musk, buy Microsoft, please please
Ah, yes. Now you need a twitter/x account to login instead of a Microsoft account AND all possibilities to create a local account are removed. Be careful what you wish for.
My god that would be funny
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
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.

We know how this ends
- Elon complains
- Elon buys
- Elon destroys
If Elon destroyed MS, that would be a net positive.
Microsoft has a market cap of over 3 trillion.
Musk is crazy stupid rich times a million, but he’s an order of magnitude shy of being able to bully Microsoft with his wallet. With the resources of the US government, sure. but not his checkbook.
broken clock or something
Is it really a broken clock situation if you’re guilty of the very thing you’re complaining about?
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).
I have never heard that idiom and I love it
It’s one of many things out of the bible that have pretty much just become a saying (the splinter/beam one)
my mistake
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
this is one of them.
He is probably using a company laptop which by default requires a Windows account to be used, if it’s his personal account that’s another story but this is also how Microsoft tools are built. You don’t like this way instead of complaining just switch to macOS or Linux
Yeah this is absolutely one of them. Elon Musk is right in this case, although he’s still an idiot
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.
And yet my parents still believe that he must have had some competence to be in the place he is at now. Illusion of meritocracy blinds so much.
That is the insane part. Honestly I thought so. I literally read an bias as fuck biography of that guy, believing that I would find some competency. Even they failed to spin the yarn in that way. The most positive spin was effectively “musk is a good promiser/beggar”.
Context, it was in the early Tesla days, in which people hope he would kickstart a change.
Is it possible to do that on latest windows 11 home installation? I thought they disabled local accounts completely.
I struggled through it with two new laptops last month. The command prompt method didn’t work anymore. I was however able to bypass after disconnecting the Internet a few times during the setup process to make it fail at trying to create an online account. It’s like it will finally give up after two or three times and allowed me to setup a local account finally.
It sure looked like an option last time I tried, but it was more hassle and I was just trying to create a guest account for a friend, so I didn’t bother.
Also Microsoft backed off on the intrusive AI stuff about 5 minutes after announcing it because there was such an uproar. The funny part is I was working for Microsoft at the time, and you could tell the leadership really thought consumers were gonna love it.
You have to sort of dig specifically for the newer fixes, the old ones dont work usually.
Last time I tried, disconnecting the PC from the internet worked.
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.
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.
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 Xhttps://thedesk.net/2025/02/ntsb-moves-plane-crash-press-updates-x-twitter/
he’s gonna buy Microsoft and rename it MicroXoft for fucks sake.
Read it as micrococks
