Elon Musk Had Difficulty Setting Laptop
Elon Musk apparently is just an ordinary person who is sometimes confused by technology. So confused, Musk even confided in Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. This story begins with Musk who had just bought a Windows notebook. However, in his post on X, Musk complained that he could not complete the setup process because he had to create a Microsoft account first.
“Just bought a new notebook PC and I can’t use it unless I create a Microsoft account, which means giving their AI access to my computer!” Musk wrote in his post on X, as quoted by Gizmodo.
“This is messy. Previously there was an alternative to go through the process of logging in or creating a Microsoft account,” he continued. Musk was later rebuked by Community Notes, a fact-checking feature contributed by user
Musk contacted Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella
But Musk objected and said that Community Notes was wrong. “This option no longer exists,” Musk wrote in a separate tweet.
Again, Musk’s tweet was commented on by Community Notes, which insisted that the alternative to setting up Windows without logging into a Microsoft account still exists, even though it is a little more complicated compared to Windows 10.
After being helped by other X users, Musk finally managed to setup Windows on his new notebook without creating a Microsoft account. But that doesn’t mean the drama ends there.
The day after, Musk contacted Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella via tweet on X. He asked Nadella to make the process of setting up a Windows PC easier without the need to create a Microsoft account.
“Satya, I don’t mean to be annoying, but let people set up a new Windows PC to go through the process of creating https://www.dpdppnipacitan.com a Microsoft account. That option disappears if the computer is connected to WiFi,” Musk wrote in his tweet.
Apart from that, Musk also asked Nadella to allow users to create Microsoft accounts using their work email address. Until now, Nadella has not responded to Musk’s request for this.
