Elon Musk took to X to share a comment on a post shared by Satya Nadella on the microblogging platform. The Tesla CEO posted a request for the Microsoft CEO and urged him to allow people to set up a new Windows PC without mandatorily creating a Microsoft account.
The X CEO commented on a tweet by Satya Nadella declaring about the company's collaboration with Mistral AI. “Satya, I don’t mean to be a pest, but please allow people setting up a new Windows PC to skip creating a Microsoft account,” Elon Musk wrote in the comments section.
“This option disappears if the computer is connected to WiFi. Also, even if you do want to sign up, it won’t allow you to use a work email address and I only have work emails addresses!” he added.

There used to be an option to skip signing into or creating a Microsoft account. Are you seeing this too?”
