Magneto always wanted mutants to rule. He was very "might makes right" and as long as it's mutants doing this, I'm sure he's okay with it. He's just sitting back and enjoying his dream coming to life while charles' dream is burned to the ground.

As for Magneto joining the X-Men...
That was explained over in Avengers Academy pretty well awhile back with Pietro. Magneto is turning the x-men into his new brotherhood from the inside. Which is exactly what's happening tbh. Cyclops' X-men pretty much are the new brotherhood while Wolverine's school is the Xavier dream. All the phoenix power did was speed the process up. Since the phoenix power embelishes on natural host traits... Cyclops is going to go more and more control freak on everyone. So out of all of them, he's the one that'll probably end up getting killed. While the others have different aspects that aren't as dangerous. (Namor's arrogance, Emma's vanity, Piotr is artistic and creative at his core other than cytorak's influence, Magick is a wild card though.)

It's kind of funny in a way.
Cyclops' plan is exactly why they kicked Xavier out of the X-Men. Manipulating people went against Xavier's own dream. Now Cyclops is ordering others to do the very thing that made them decide to kick Xavier out originally.
