Why keep giving power to Elites? That’s why we’ve built a decentralised VPN network. Not only we’re resilient but also we don’t sell your data like centralised VPNs. And our micropayments are made in $MYST, our ERC20 token.

I think an important factor here is time scale. On a short term scale i would say "Elites" have considerable control (political decisions and such) but as you zoom out into long term processes (cultural evolution over centuries/decades) no single group of people has any control.
