I wish people would stop calling them elite. WTF are they so elite at? Born into a corporate family? Being a psychopath?

Having effectively unlimited resources and the unbreakable power and control over the rest of us that comes with it sounds pretty elite to me.

The terminology still engrandises them instead of shaming them as the greedy pr*cks they are.

Aggrandises. Engrandise isn’t a word.
And calling them elites is fine. For them it massages their collective ego for us it is a mocking statement.

Sarcastic and ironic comments are fine until they’re not.
Most people don’t pick up on sarcasm about “elite”, though, and only stupid people insist on communicating with things easily misunderstood.
Poe’s Law offers more wisdom than most people realize.
