weak... mentally? or physically?

One or the other or both

i understand

you believe our current society functions under the principles of meritocracy

those who are competent rise to elite status

Usually yes

does your belief include the event that the "elite" maintain their power, wealth (one and the same under neoliberal capital) etc., by preventing those competent in the poor to rise?

No, that doesnt happen

the 1% doesnt stay the same as proven by Ben shapiro

people rise through the ranks daily

curious

the 1% doesnt change?

Yes it does

ah, you mean the members of the 1% are in constant flux

they change, someone in the elite today may not be in it tomorrow?

Exactly

how does one leave the 1%

do they die?

do they lose their influence, wealth, power?

Tax sometimes and sometimes someone over takes them and sometimes they lose money too yes

if they were competent enough to rise to the 1%, how could they be so weak as to fall out of it? as a man of "facts and logic", how can you present this idea without recognizing its logical fallacy? Moreover, how could someone competent enough to best 99% of the populace, incentivised to maintain their power and wealth, not use that power wealth and influence (which they have the most of) to maintain their status?

competence doesnt mean perfect. People fall and people rise. Its just how people are.

And they do use their power and wealth to get richer and maintain their status

but sometimes no matter how much money you put into it you can still lose a significant amount more

so much so that you can lose it all
