Maybe Musk, Gates and Zuckerberg are neurodivergent, IDK, self diagnosis is often self-serving. I don't think they are billionaires because their powers of autistic hyperfixation were properly directed.
You said there were "just 3 examples of the top of your head" as if there were a much larger pool from which to infer a correlation between autism and wealth. In most cases autistic peoples' special interests don't have million dollar market potential. I suspect the potential for wealth and placement on the autism spectrum are orthogonal to one another, and that factors like education, class and luck play bigger factors.
