The only time that folding AA preflop might possibly be a conceivable move is when:
You're in a tournament at the final table, and several of your opponents move all-in, essentially guaranteeing you third place or better if you stay out of the hand, but threatening to bust you or decimate your stack if you get involved because your chances of winning are reduced to below 50%. In a case such as this, the ability to survive outweighs the awesome odds you're getting and the fact that you're a big favorite.

No it doesn't, are you mad? If you fold you might have a better chance at 3rd place (maybe the lowest stack wins, 2nd lowest takes side pot and big stack loses, then your back to same number of opponents and you folded aces) whoever wins the pot will most likely have a dominiating stack diminishing your chances as first (the big payout), if you push with aces you are a favorite to win a big stack no matter what and a favorite to make first place
