The billionaires write the rules. So by definition, their actions are legal.
The public cannot write the rules, nor engage in the billionaire level legal bribery, their actions of protest are by and large illegal.
That's how you corner everyone, and make people play no-win scenarios. You know, like shooting up city councilmembers or firebomb attempts against Scam Altman.
And the more people realize that legal solutions are no solution, we'll (society) devolve into more direct action.
I'd hope the billionaires learn from the French Revolution, but if they keep continuing, the guillotines will come for them soon.
