Trump/Musk have announced a plan similar to Argentina where they cut a bunch of public services and refuce the functions of government:

....part of the plan is to crash the economy and cause 'hardship'... And they're more than likely going to do a massive transfer of wealth in the process. hedge funds use this tactic all the time, get your money ready, collapse a stock, buy it at a lower price, be wealthier when it returns.

They're going to do that with the whole economy. They want to own the whole pie.

Okay but they realize that leaves a lot of angry people with literally nothing to lose right?

That's why they started with building a following of cultists that will be the useful idiots to take the blow for free.
