The elites chase the money. It's definitional.

Rapidly emerging profitable technologies create fortunes and the elites chase the fortunes. There's no conceptual difference between the iPhone and the steam engine or steel mill in this regard.

Elites? I think our definitions vary widely here.

In the context of career choice, I mean the children of wealthy and powerful families and/or those graduating from our most prestigious preparatory institutions.

Is there some other definition?

You think this is only about powerful families’ kids? I think the article is clickbait personally, but that wasn’t my take at all.
