I feel the implication in the article is that Clegg believes it's impossible to be a wealthy man and also a victim? I mean yeah these people probably aren't victims. But simply saying they're wealthy is insufficient to prove that.

You "feel" something and you demand Clegg to prove what you feel instead of you proving that Clegg is really implying what you feel. But he isn't trying to prove anything, in fact he accepts whiny wealthy men as fact, he just feels this to be an ugly combination:

>> Clegg: “In Silicon Valley, far from thinking they’re lucky, they think... they’re victims. I... can’t, understand this deeply unattractive combination of machismo and self-pity."
