Basically.

Though, I've been watching "The Crown" on Netflix and somewhat jealous at this moment at the non-political Head of State they have over there in Britain. And I wonder whether or not the term elite can be reclaimed as a point of pride like the right likes to do at times (aka "deplorable"). Of course it can't be a wishy-washy elitism that shies away when someone goes off on elites - it has to be muscular - an affirmative ownership. And, to be fair, it has to be a different kind of elite than just rich people making deals to get theirs... it has to be a elite that cares about public service - like George H.W. Bush or Winston Churchill.
