Yes, I'd like to see the evidence that someone like Musk, Wozniak, and maybe arguably Jobs, are not just outliers.

As for his mention of the WWW, I don't credit the valley for all that and wonder if Vint Cerf has emoted about his mentality when coding TCP/IP.

> cultural norms

Not sure about that, unless you consider it a very recent 'value.' There was quite a bit of flaunting during the dot-com era.

I know of one person personally and by extension one or two more that are very much like Elon Musk. Joel Gascoigne from Buffer for example. He's taking a very similar approach to things, especially if you look at how transparent he is about himself and his company. They've set a lot of waves in their space.
