There are a couple goals here. They would like to tank US economy so oligarchs can buy it for pennies on the dollar. Oligarchs like Elon and Thiel want to own their own cities called Network States. You can find more details about that here https://www.thenerdreich.com/ https://www.thenerdreich.com/ Trump is owned by Russia and China so turning America away from Europe weakens them. Like Zelenskyy says, Russia is likely going to attack NATO within the next couple years so breaking them away from America takes away a very powerful ally. Europe likes to twiddle their thumbs so he is betting that they won't get their shit together and odds are he is right. The EU moves slowly and is very nonsensical. The real play that not even Trump sees coming is putting JD Vance behind the desk. Elon and the rest of the billionaire class are just using Trump to set the table for Vance. Once that happens we are all truly fucked.

I don’t know, if Elon and Thiel think they’re just using Trump for their own ends and they’ll discard him once they’re done, they’ll join a long line of people who I’ve heard the same theory about, all of whom ultimately failed. To be honest, I don’t think there’s a single person in this entire pyramid of horrible who is a threat like Trump. It’s not because Trump is smarter or more evil than the rest of them, it’s because he’s absolutely shameless in a way you can only be if your brain is legitimately miswired. And as a result, he has managed to capture the loyalty of a third of America who will rabidly support him no matter what. Those people aren’t going to do that for Vance, or Musk, or DeSantis. Trump is unique in that regard.
