100%. Hacking is fundamentally anti-authoritarian, and starting your own business and becoming an entrepreneur instead of a wage slave is also fundamentally anti-authoritarian.

However, I wouldn't go so far to disparage messing with the political system as "cracking". Hackers often try to break systems that are stagnant, and get those systems changed so that they come out stronger on the other side. And there's nothing more stagnant than modern politics. Ultimately it's a question of whether the people "hacking" the political system are "black hat" or "white hat".

I know what color hat Musk has chosen to represent himself, though.
