Linus was a Finn and Tim was a Brit. So Europe can claim those two innovators - their work's turned out to be pretty useful. Don't know where you can stuff Elon, but he's mostly non-US as I recall (3 citizenships?). I'm too lazy to look up whether any of the Bell Lab people weren't natives, and I think the MIT hackers were US-born. But, perhaps, innovation moved worldwide in the 80's or 90's?
