There is nothing wrong with being 19-25. There's something wrong with being wholly incompetent.

There's not really anything wrong with being incompetent, so long as you have the humility to admit it and learn from people who know better, and try not to cause harm. That's not Musk's minions though.

I think it's important to differentiate incompetence from ignorance. Ignorance is not knowing. Incompetence is not being able to fulfill the requirements for your assigned task. If you cannot fulfill the requirements for your given task, then you should not be given said task.
