Seems to me that it's mostly revenge; dismantling any government agency that has ever thwarted him, or that the right wing does not like. But, I certainly don't trust his motives...

Musk is definitely linked to Putin because there is no way Trump would share the spotlight for this long unless Putin was insisting on it.

However, I suspect all Putin has is the receipts for Musk helping to block the Ukrainian attack on the Russian fleet by turning off starlink, helping buy Twitter, shutting down investigations into Musks companies (via Trump), future promises of money and power by removing all sorts of worker and environmental protections.

He's gotten in so deep he can't get back out even if he wanted to.
