I have no doubt kids in such schools (I'm not calling them "elitist") were bullies to each other.
But what about outside of school? You think house staff didn't have to obey Elon when he was a boy? You think an entitled kid who's bullied in one area isn't going to exploit power given to them in other areas? Looking at how he manages things as an adult, I pity all the house staff and childcare staff that ever had to put up with him.
The rest of us never had that kind of power in any facet of our lives. There are layers of privilege that separate the experiences of Musk and the experiences of the 99%. It isn't "dehumanizing someone" to point that out.
While I don't necessarly agree with your opinion, I actually enjoy your perspective a lot. Thanks for that :)
