You can "disrupt" without being in the Valley, plus a lot of companies that claim they're disrupting are just cherry-picking customers and barely moving the needle in terms of net-new technology.
It's easy to make a billion dollar start-up if you get two billion in cash you can blow on acquisitions. It's hard to make that company survive more than ten years.
When Tesla runs out of VC money, which they will, things are going to turn ugly in a hurry. All this money they've blown on door hinges and sending cars into space will be gone and they'll have to turn a profit. I'm not sure they can without massively cutting back and radically simplifying their product.
