I think this depends on how much you think you have the ability to cash in on any given opportunity. eg, you gaining a ton of money is probably going to help the cause of FAI more than whatever amount of economic growth is generated helps bring about AI. So basically either put your money where your theories are or don't publicly theorize?
This is true for non-super-huge startups that donate any noticeable fraction of generated wealth to EA, yes - that amount is not a significant percentage of overall global econ growth, and would be a much larger fraction of FAI funding.
