Do you really think if Krudd said I want an A330 converted to VIP config they would be able to stop it? If you do you are incredibly naive.
Personally I can't see KRudd turning up anywhere in a hybrid tanker/VIP jet. That would be way below his station- or at least how he pictures his station. It's probably more likely that they'll go an A330 or two for the VIP fleet rather than re-fit or convert a KC-30 to have a VIP section.

I suspect also too that KRudd probably feels an aircraft the size of the A330 is more in keeping with his image of himself. He'll want an aircraft where he can go back and tell the journos traveling with him how good he is.
