"Ben Elohim" literally means son of god, spelled בן אלוקים

but in biblical usage, which is often poetical, as opposed to literal, can also mean a person of the ruling class. "Ben Adam" literally means son of Adam, or son of man, which has an unambiguous connotation of being an ordinary person, an earthy man (adamah = the soil).

When Jesus and Ezekial call themselves a son of man, this means that neither is a son of God, but just an ordinary man with his share of wisdom. Biblical usage is quite clear on the difference between these two phrases, as when "the sons of Elohim find fair the daughters of Adam."
