I see how it can be devastating to their ego, but no, I don't see a particular difference in a company spending money for clout vs. a person spending time for clout. The underlying motivation is the same.

Do you really think people dedicate their life to mathematics for clout?

If clout was the goal I don’t think becoming a lifelong mathematics academic would be the first step
