It just comes down to how people define “10x programmer”. Is it someone who is 10x more productive than the average programmer? Yeah this definitely exists. Is it somenone who will always be 10x more productive than the average in any given team, domain or codebase, from day 1? Of course not.
Without defining the term more precisely, people can discuss this forever without getting anywhere.
