Vitalik Buterin Invites Elon Musk to Linus Community
In an X post on February 26, Musk revealed that he needed a Microsoft account in order to utilize his laptop computer running Windows OS. A choice to forego signing in to or creating a Microsoft account was previously available, he continued. After Musk grumbled that he couldn’t install Microsoft Windows on his freshly purchased computer without a Microsoft account, Vitalik Buterin extended an invitation to Musk to join the desktop Linux community.
Musk’s tweet was subsequently accompanied by a community notice after numerous platform users pointed out that Windows OS could still be used without a Microsoft account. Although Musk feels the procedure shouldn’t be this complicated, users on X devised a complicated workaround mechanism in the comment section to help him traverse the process.
