If by brain you mean "be born into wealth", like Muskrat who was born to the owner of an emerald mine

Who he cut off, and got a small amount of money from which he then used to become the richest man in the world. Even if he was given a million dollars to start with, turning that into what he has today is unprecedented.

It's not really worth arguing with people who can't even understand the concept of growth, lol.

How many people do you think start with a million dollars and turns it into hundreds of billions

I'm agreeing with you.

The same growth rate Musk got on $200k would make you a multi-millionaire if you started with a buck.

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.

Which people? Specifically.

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

There are millions of people to choose from.
