Elon Musk, the famous billionaire who holds several prestigious titles under his name, including the founder of Tesla, SpaceX and Starlink, and the CEO of the social media platform Twitter, which he recently acquired and renamed X, recently stumbled upon a challenging task which even he couldn't figure out easily: to install his new Windows laptop.

Yes, you read that right. Even billionaires have tech support issues as Elon Musk shared a post on X on Sunday that he couldn't set up his new Windows laptop without having to create a Microsoft account, which would give their AI access to his computer ( in his own words). He couldn't even find the option to skip it, which used to be there before. Just bought a new 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. Previously, there was an option to skip signing in or creating a Microsoft account. Do you see this too? — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 25, 2024

Guess what? It's still there and Community Notes (volunteer fact-checking service on X) pointed it out soon in the post. But Musk was having none of it, going so far as to say that "Community Notes fails here." Yes, you read that right again, he was not ready to believe the volunteers on his platform. Community Notes fails here. This option is no longer available. pic.twitter.com/b04hBivqXo — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 25, 2024
