Imagine if a polarizing figure, who you and many other people strongly dislike and whose vision for your company is openly controversial, were going to take over your company in the near future. How could the company function? It seems almost a foregone conclusion that there will be (a small proportion of) passionate and disgruntled employees who will go rogue and sabotage and leak and do whatever various subversive things to hurt Twitter before they resign.

That doesn't make it okay to be malicious and possibly commit a crime. This is childish behavior.

Kinda depends, doesn't it? Depends if you're doing it just to harm Twitter or Musk or w/e, or if you believe that you're doing it for a moral reason, and if that reason is justified. I mean people always say piracy isn't ok, but I truly believe that some media can only acquired and experienced ethically through piracy. The law doesn't make things right or wrong, it just protects things in general.

US copyright law makes a distinction between civil and criminal consequences based on intent to financially benefit from the copyright infringement. Vandalizing Twitter on the other hand yields both civil and criminal consequences.
