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.

    The guides I found give you every single detail you’d need to know. If you know how to read, you can use the terminal bypass method.

      Right, but my mom and dad would not even think that there is a way around it. They wouldn’t even know to look.

        Sure, but are they ones who care about not having a Microsoft account?

        They might even think it is convenient.

        If someone is privacy aware enough, they’ll find the solution themselves.
