what does money have to do with being an elite?

-Exclusive privileges related to wealth 
-control over your life and the life of others
-it provides children with access to reinforced dynamics
-reinforces idea that some people are more worth it than others
-access to resources (healthcare, housing)
-network effects
-purchase social status through design

-shapes cultural attitudes through funding (NFTs are as political as graffiti)
-Pay to play is totally within means and not a problem
-elite sports from polo to equestrian competition. Big wave Surfing 
-real state…

elites run institutions that determine how society functions. most millionaires do not run institutions that determine how society functions.

You can’t gerrymander concepts like that. Its a transparent rhetorical device that distorts meaning and will lead to equivocal frames “the glass is half empty or half full"

There is no homogenous “wealthy class” culture in the US. There is a homogenous “politically correct culture” in the US.

I would argue that there's more homogeneity at the bottom due to common forms of resource management. nominal private consumption outside of that shared experience is noticeable & is easier to generalize from bottom-up rather than vice-versa.

In the US, the bottom is not a thing? It's 2 very separate things?

no, I'm asserting that the bottom has universal qualities outside of superficial politics, this polarization can be attributed to the narcissism of small differences. but I would also note that literacy (the buffer to the above) is not black & white, but it is equally costly in the context of desperate survival.
