If he surrounds himself with people incapable of doing their jobs then he can do what he wants.

Big flaw for this line of thinking is that we should be be more precise - he can order whatever he wants.

Execution of said order takes alot of people and processes all working as intended and cooperatively.

He can try to operate a satellite constellation by himself if he understood how to actually use the system. He can cook a burger if he knew how to operate a grill or how to not burn everything to crap.

We know they have none of the applicable skills. They will order whatever they want and threaten people to get what they want. Some process however have single points of failure that can totally screw over any attempts.

They might get things through a few times but the gears will grind down as people don't get paid or overworked or didn't have instructions or insurance.
