Nadella: "You first with Twitter/X."

Yeah, right? How is this not hypocritical given the post-Musk implementation of requiring an account to view tweets?

Atleast let us read the whole thread instead of a single post (with or without top replies).

It’s a rather different scenario. You bought the laptop, you own it. That used to mean something.

If Musk wants to paywall all Twitter content, or heck, rebrand it into a StarWars fan club, who cares? Not I. But I care about my computer.

You bought the laptop, so you own the hardware.

You did not buy the software, you only get a license, and that comes with it's own terms.
