The only logical conclusion is Trump and Elon hate the USA
That is the only reason why they would burn it to the ground and start over. You have to hate the country you are starting with to do that.

Both are narcissists though an important additional point to make is that the tech oligarchs believe in network states.
They believe that the nation state is on the way out and they believe that sentiment towards that is luddite.
The Sovereign Individual and Network States are highly influential books on their thinking and they point a roadmap to a future that is post-democratic and post-nationalist; basically techno-libertarian feudalism. Elysium on Earth or a futuristic feudalist Italy.
Trump's proposed 'Freedom Cities' are a step towards this. Peter Thiel and others have supported this process for a long time.
Obviously, this objective is completely contradictory to the Christian nationalism of the MAGA base, as Steve Bannon has recently realised. However, the tech oligarchs need MAGA footsoldiers right now and MAGA benefits in the short term from the oligarch's tech platforms and money.
