That doesn't cure their cancer or Alzheimer's or age-induced incontinence. I don't think the "elites" give much of a fuck about "us" either way. Most people on average don't give much of a fuck about random strangers they'll never interact with. Most people who claim otherwise lie.

But if the elites pin their hope on something saving their lives, and perceive you as getting in the way, then yeah all of a sudden they are going to form strong and very specific opinions.
