I don't think the message that it's just "tough luck" if you happen not to be born into privilege would fare any better. Graham just doesn't have a nuanced, progressive and sensitive understanding of this issue (among many other issues). He's shooting from the hip, but it wouldn't be any better if he aimed carefully.

He might not have a nuanced understanding of this issue (although, we can't be sure, can we?), but it doesn't make his tweet inaccurate. He literally was talking about "starting startups" and "rich kids". You can be poor and still start a successful startup.
