I mean, it's hard not to read it as an attempt to convert the US into a Russian-style mafia state, tbh.
So, "who benefits" would generally be those oligarchs who manage to avoid lethal encounters with stairs, windows, etc., traditionally.
It's somewhat unclear to what extent this will be allowed to continue. I kind of suspect that the Supreme Court is not actually as beholden to Trump as he perhaps thinks it is, and will pull the plug at some point. I also suspect that, if the market turmoil gets bad enough, Trump may dump Musk; if you look at his previous term, few of his people got through the whole term, and of course nothing is ever Trump's fault.
