Typical Elon, only the shallowest surface level understanding of simple concepts, and thinks of himself as not just competent but an expert. You can still login to a clean Windows 11 install without a Microsoft account. And you can still install Windows without an internet connection or linked account. And you can still prevent it from sending telemetry or auto updating. It all takes very little effort, and even shitty Google and Bing still return step-by-step walkthroughs on the first page of search results.

Meanwhile, he's too hypocritically dense to realize his own stupid company requires you to do the same thing he's complaining about, because of authoritarian changes he made...
