He is right, but ... he means something different by "elite." Knowing technology will get you a good job and benefit you in other ways, it is not the fastest and surest path to social prestige.
Attending a top university is the fastest and surest path (though, like everything in life, not guaranteed) to that tiny class that rules the world.
Whether you want to play that game, or whether you prefer to win that game the hard way, is another question.
