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.

As for why Elon Musk shared such a comment like this, we need to take a look at another post he earlier shared. In his post, Musk wrote, “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 AI 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?”
