Always fun to scroll hn and get some drive-by ableism. The majority of autistic people aren't in full time work, they probably don't resemble that remark.
Of course not. There's a really big difference here.
On the one hand, asd people are everywhere including in positions of power.
However, if you had a system which, by design, considers a subsection of asd people as the only ones qualified to hold power, you would be missing out on the contributions of everyone else which we should be including, you know, as a virtue of democracy.
To circle back around, the premise that people are fundamentally selfish is what's being rejected. The reality is (some small minority of) people behave in ways that might be considered fundamentally selfish and they've been thoroughly studied by behaviourists and psychologists.

Are they?
Forgive the suspicion, it's just aside from Zuckerberg and Musk the rest of the list you specifically named in the GP comment aren't on the autism spectrum, so I'm finding this line of reasoning a little dubious.
