I think Hanlon's razor applies here: never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
I think Trump and Musk haven't thought anything through and they're applying Silicon Valley's idiotic "move fast and break things" motto. The trouble is, while this may be fine to develop a web browser or a social media platform, it doesn't apply to many things that require forethought and time to do things right because they are literally not allowed to break, such as nuclear shit.
Yeah but see that's what does not compute: in what scenario does any oligarch benefit from increasing the country's nuclear risk? There's a thousand and one ways to make a lot more money a lot more safely, quickly and quietly.
That's why I'm of the opinion that Trumsk don't friggin' know what they're doing.
Indeed, this was he strategy laid out a couple of days ago in another post: The government fires essential workers, a newly created private company hires them (Trump Nuclear), pays them 15% more, works them twice the hours, and then charges the government (the people) 5 times as much for their work—all while lowering quality and safety standards.
