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.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Use xcancel.com to see tweets without an account.

Don't you need to give all your information to AI if you have ever interacted with the government in the past?

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.

Is it really a broken clock situation if you’re guilty of the very thing you’re complaining about?

[–] syklemil@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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).

[–] LordPassionFruit@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have never heard that idiom and I love it

[–] syklemil@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It's one of many things out of the bible that have pretty much just become a saying (the splinter/beam one)

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

[–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] MarkalAlvarez@lemmy.world 1 points 54 minutes ago

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

[–] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 3 points 1 day ago

Yeah this is absolutely one of them. Elon Musk is right in this case, although he's still an idiot

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

No I am not seeing it I use Linux

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

See? That's why you're not a genius like Elon Musk! He knows that Linux is too hard!

[–] Old_Yharnam@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

For the world’s smartest guy, he sure is stupid

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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?

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??

[–] bhsuarez@infosec.pub 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

It's simple z we buy Microsoft

And then proceed to run it off a cliff

Oh please, musk, buy Microsoft, please please

[–] pixelblut@feddit.org 1 points 6 hours ago

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.

We know how this ends

  1. Elon complains
  2. Elon buys
  3. Elon destroys
[–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 14 points 1 day ago

If Elon destroyed MS, that would be a net positive.

Somebody's mad Bill said he was craaaaaaazy

Nope, the Steam Deck has been my daily driver, I love it.

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.

The console bypass trick still works.
