Elon Musk criticises Microsoft for Windows 11 requirements
Elon Musk, founder of Tesla and SpaceX, has expressed his disappointment with the new requirements that Microsoft is introducing for Windows 11 users. He believes that these requirements limit the user's control over their own device, as they need to create a Microsoft account to use the operating system.
What's New This Time
When Musk's laptop automatically connected to Wi-Fi without a password, a problem arose. This prompted the billionaire to address his Twitter/X followers with complaints about Microsoft's demands. He noted that it used to be possible to skip the creation of a Microsoft account, but this option is no longer available.
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?
Social media started to talk about Musk's conflict with Microsoft, and some Twitter/X users recommended that the great entrepreneur switch to the Linux operating system.
