I had my trip scheduled for the week of December 12th when the protests started, but moved it for the week after and it was perfect. I was following the news closely and because Cusco relies so heavily on tourism, locals even agreed to cease protests until January 3rd.

So we had a perfect trip, nothing happened in town, and also due to so many tourists canceling their trips, Machu Picchu had low attendance which allowed us to take great photos and spend more time up in the citadel.

The FTC has been hitting twitter long before Musk ever made his offer. The big risk he’s inherited with the purchase of twitter is that the FTC and twitter had certain operating agreements twitter was bound to. If he’s found in violation of those agreements the buck in theory stops with him. Unlike the SEC or DOJ the FTC has a history of massive fines and handing out referrals for criminal charges that have lead to jail time.

Will Musk likely see a Courtroom let alone a jail cell I find that unlikely. But he’s also not doing himself any favors with his actions.

Are we just on a repetitive cycle of "Look what someone projected on the Twitter building" to "Look at Elon with this objectionable individual" that are perpetually reposted? I'm starting to think this subs needs to be renamed to /r/picswithghislaine or /r/IHateElon or something more accurate.

> Who knows what's going on with Twitter now?

Everyone could know if they wanted to know, since Musk released the company's internal communications to a bunch of independent journalists. Between that and the constant media attention over every little thing he's done since he bought the company if you have no idea what is and has been going on with Twitter it's because you're not availing yourself of the available information resources.
