Elon Musk has tremendous impact because he is rich and lucky. He has never "generate[d] new ideas and [brought] them to fruition", he has paid other people to. His experience is of being given a large loan by his father.

You do not back up your claim that having experience makes you less competitive. Being entrenched in the status quo is not the same as having experience. Being entrenched is an experience.

I don't doubt that young people have good ideas. I had a lot of great ideas when I was young. It turned out I wasn't the first to think them, and I didn't have the experience necessary to put them into action.
