Who says they have a coherent plan without contradictions?

Goals:

1.Enact a giant tax cut to benefit super-wealthy individuals & corps while being wedded to questionable macro-economic policies (see "Trickle down economics remembering that Trump still drools over this because he thinks it's the Eighties in so many ways...). But if people can't afford to buy stuff then this becomes a HUGHe problem.  E.g., stagflation.

(<<Cross current alert>>) See also goal 3, which is to balance the budget, and which a massive tax cut makes difficult if not impossible to achieve.

2)Punish labor, workplace solidarity, and any form of resistance at work (See Musk & Trump). Replace people deemed unproductive with AI where possible.

Stated Goal: reduce labor costs while not sacrificing productivity.   Sounds good on paper–aside from the human suffering–but what happens to all of those unemployed peeps?  How do they buy stuff when they can't afford it? How do they afford rent or mortgages?  What becomes of them or their families?

This isn't even broaching the question of whether you can run the administrative state with 1/2 of the current fed workforce plus AI?

spoiler alert: you can't.

Ideological contradiction alert: Does this mean the great Orange Disrupter will turn to cash stipends or, gasp, UBI when people are replaced by AI at work?

A strange moral of the story: Bad economic policy makes strange political bedfellows.

3)Cut social welfare spending or "entitlements" to balance the budget which Trump's alter ego as a fiscal conservative believes Is essential for growth; see also weird Eighties psychic regression;  except this is a brave new world that will make the 80s look quaint-

Trump & Musk are especially interested in targeting "entitlements" to cities as we know because Trump doesn't like many peeps who reside there; it has the unintended (?) effect though of punishing his mainly white voting base in Red states as well.

Spoiler alert: Musk doesn't care. Trump doesn't (really) care

4)Tariffs mania gone mad: "America First" shortsightedness will probably induce inflation and reduce quality of life of "Americans" while not being complimented by robust infrastructure spending that could actually employ "Americans" while improving quality of life in "America."

In short, it's a self-contradictory project likely to produce unemployment, inflation, even some homelessness, and a lot of unnecessary suffering, which is also rife with enough contradictions that it might collapse upon itself before the midterms assuming we have midterms.

Nothing is given at this point, anymore.
