Isn't that completely torpedoing your point though? Elon might have had a head start but he still lapped me 16 times on the way to where he is now.

If everyone had the exact same head start he did (or didn't, it seems disputed), we all wouldn't have achieved what he has. Just because he had a head start that we would all have liked to have doesn't mean we all could have accomplished what he has.

It'd be like dismissing an MLB pitcher throwing a perfect game because his parents could afford to send him to private coaches.

why would it? You aren't everybody, or anybody else but you, so saying you wouldn't want to do it doesn't really have any affect on the point (especially since we're discussing ability, not ambition)
