Elon Musk admitted that he knows thatTrump’s policies would crash the economy if he’s elected president but thinks that the price is worth it.

The Russians tried a "go backward to go forward" economic plan in the early 1990s. It caused a depression that lasted a decade, lowered the standard of living, killed probably millions before their time, and left–however undeservedly–a stain on the very idea of liberal democracy that left Russia wide open for the first dictator to come along.
But most likely that is the point.
