Make it out of what though? If all there is to consider is escape velocity, than light, or any object whatsoever, can absolutely escape the event horizon if it's moving at anything remotely close to the speed of light. Without propulsion it won't be able to travel to an arbitrarily far distance, but it can certainly escape the event horizon in any scenario other than if its initial velocity came from when the the object was at the center of mass. You wouldn't even need a very significant velocity to escape the event horizon of a black hole if you had that velocity within a region close to the event horizon. As I said, escape velocity is a good way to motivate the idea of a black hole, it serves a pedagogical purpose, but the story doesn't stop there and you quickly realize that in fact, the escape velocity itself has little to do with black holes. It just happens to share the same underlying principle that the calculation for the event horizon has.
