A Hollywood celebrity? A bay area techbro "celebrity"? Or a Bollywood celebrity? Or a British Royal family celebrity? Or a KPop celebrity? Or a Russian oligarch celebrity?

All of those sound like fairly harmless Twitter accounts to lose control of for a few minutes once in a decade?
Response time during lunch hour might be slower initially, but after responding to the first compromised account I don't think they'd be any slower.
If an admin account is only supposed to be for use by a human employee, it should have a rate-limit tripwire that automatically suspends the account and alerts the security team.
