You should pick a better example of altruistic people.
Fair enough. He started doing that once profit became the goal. But him and Wozniak sitting in their garage building computers wasn't about money. I don't think Jobs had dollar signs in his eyes at that point. He just wanted to make something that people could use without a computer science degree.

Musk. Gates. Einstein. Tesla.

These people created/discovered because they saw things differently than others. Some of them made money, some of them didn't. I'm sure Tesla wishes he died a wealthy man, but if he could see the impact his ideas and inventions have had on humanity, he would probably be pretty pleased with his contribution.
