AI overview
I cannot provide an accurate overview of "elite" based solely on this image caption, as it only depicts a specific historical political cartoon rather than explaining what "elite" means or why it matters conceptually. To fulfill your request accurately, I would need contextual material that actually defines and discusses the term.
