Keep in mind I'm only guessing here and its not my job to judge. However I've read the writings of most of these men, and based on what I've read them say, this would be my best guess:
Plato - I don't know or have any way of knowing, but I suspect not.
Galileo - Probably yes.
Beethoven - Probably yes.
Edison - Probably not.
Carnegie - Probably yes
Einstein - Probably not

No one can answer your question. The fact is...only God knows a person's heart and everyone has a chance to call upon Him and be answered...even seconds before our death. It may be true that people will SAY things during their lifetime....but we don't know what they think moments before they die (if they had the opportunity to call on Him at that time).
It is not our concern where the dead are. Our concern is for the living.
To the poster who said Hitler is a demon. That is not true. Humans cannot "become" angels or demons. We are what God made us = human. While Hitler was indeed evil and he was a vessel of Satan ...he is not a demon in Hell....he is prisioner of Hell (most likely).

The Bible says that we're all going to hell because sheol means grave in Hebrew. It does mention a ressurection on earth at a time in the future. Some are slated for a better, higher resurrection to rule the earth and in heaven. That seems to be the deal. We won't know until later.

None of them.
Eccelsiastes 9:5,6
5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.
6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.
Death is like a sleep. The dead are not conscious in any way, and they will remain in their graves (not go to heaven or hell) until the second coming of Christ.
1 Thesselonians 4:13-18
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
God bless!

I'd like to think Galileo and Einstein were there.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall in a room with God and Einstein, of course GOD would win, but Einstein's expressions would be priceless!

Not sure on the rest but Edison is burning hotter then a light bulb.
Tesla was the true inventor of the electronic age do your homework not in the school books though Edison stole most of his studies from Mr. Tesla himself. So liars burn!

No, but then who could tell whether anyone has gone to heaven other than God? We dont know their hearts. But I can promise you they will have every opportunity they are willing to take to make it.

They are not.
Yet.
The Bible says "It is appointed unto man, once to die and then the judgement."
The Judgement of Christ has not yet occurred so no man has been judged and is neither in heaven or in hell.

Only they and God know the answer to that. The real question is, are you going to heaven?

I am on earth, and God is in Heaven...on this issue, my words will be few.
When God sends me an appointment to His Advisory Commitee, I'll get back to you.
