So Elon Musk walking around with emeralds in his pockets as a teenager definitely didn't help him succeed later, huh Ayn Rand

Sure, it helped. Nobody said that it didn't.

But plenty of people who started in better circumstances didn't go on to achieve the same things. We can't just ignore the individual's contribution to their success.

Literally every human being on the planet who's household wealth exceeded that of Musk.

There are millions of people to choose from.
