Take the example Nicola Tesla the famous scientist who contributed in developement of electricity and connectivity, but died poor alone in an hotel room.
I know this story, he should be credited for all of his work and I guess that Elon Musk's Tesla is one way of honoring his contribution in electric vehicles through his work about electricity.
I want to mention another famous person who died poor and his name is Nikola Tesla. This man could be a billionaire but he wasn't interested in business.
He's not interested to have it as a business but as a contribution to humanity. But the oligarchs and big people have done him dirty and that's because he's hurting them their business.
