Can we please stop using the word "elite" to connote something bad? "Elite" is taken by people to mean, among other things, well educated. Being well educated is a good thing. Running "elites" out of public office gets you Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz. Hawley sucks because he's a bad person, a hypocrite, a liar, knows what he's doing is dangerous but does it anyway, overly ambitious, selfish, etc. He doesn't suck because he's well educated. He sucks because he's all of those other things despite being well educated.
