The mass elation caused by GamestopGate should seriously concern the elites. Basically everyone under 40 is now oriented toward enjoying any victory over the elites more than any circus the elites can put in front of them.
Lobbing the Trump grenade into DC was fun. Eventually they shut that down by taking away the ability to participate in elections.

Blowing up a bunch of Cohen's bank accounts is fun. Eventually they will shut this down by taking away the ability to participate in markets.
Their problem is that it's impossible to maintain a society that doesn't require the participation of those below them. They can never eliminate every vector the other classes have to strike back against them and now there is sense, albeit small, of class solidarity against them.
