Billionaires: They are like us. That’s what Elon Musk reminded us when he started using bought for 44 billion dollarsto resolve your personal technical support issues.
The saga began over the weekend when Musk posted about the problems was facing with his Windows PC on ” (It’s not clear what Musk was referring to here, but we should note that customers can opt out of sharing your data with Microsoft Copilot, the AI chatbot integrated into Windows 11)
Musk’s post eventually received a ping from Community Notes, a collaborative fact-checking feature in X, which indicated that the option he was referring to was still available and proceeded to provide a link to the process. However, the billionaire stood his ground.
“Community Notes is failing here. “This option no longer exists,” Musk said on Sunday.
Community Notes contributors, who are unpaid volunteers, weren’t having it.
“Yes, it is. However, it is not possible in the same simple way as it used to be in Windows 10, but requires some complicated workarounds that the average Andy might not know about,” reads a note below Musk’s tweet.
After going back and forth with other users who tried to help him, the billionaire finally manages set up your new PC without creating a Microsoft account on Sunday night.

“Satya, I don’t want to be a bother, but it allows people setting up a new Windows PC to skip creating a Microsoft account. This option disappears if the computer is connected to WiFi. Also, even if you want to sign up, it won’t let you use a work email address and I only *have* work email addresses! He wrote musk.
As of this article’s publication Monday afternoon, Nadella had not yet responded.
