This is like the equivalent of "my girlfriend goes to another school, you wouldn't know her". Okay, so there's in-house systems as good as this. Big whoop if no one can actually see or use them.
They exist but are used in house not sold as products.
There are information theory texts with all these ideas written in them published back in the 1950s we just didn't have powerful enough computers
Thiel and Musk's only advantage is age. They were able to implement first due to a single property of physics.
Most "geniuses" today, like Tao, just like reading math. None of them have any truly novel net new ideas. They're parrots whose cages were in the nerdy section of a book store.
