In addition to what was said about him teaching Eli a lesson I think he also wanted to see how Eli would react to the situation.
Would he own up to what he'd done and come ask Rush for help, or would he try to hide it from him instead.
He was testing to see if Eli was actually capable of deliberately defying him and going behind his back, then lying about it when asked. He found out that he was, so he'll be watching him much more closely now I'd imagine.

Specially, since Eli keeps hearing that he is this math genius quite often, and that can make Eli over confident, to say the least.
Everything Rush did was a purely selfish attempt to hold on to the power he has. He heard Eli voicing his dissent to Brody, so he "put them in their place" with his stasis pod routine. Then he went and broke down any resolve Volker might have had by telling him that he wasn't good enough to get any women.
At the end of the episode, Rush says "let's go check out the stasis pods" and gives a snide little smirk when Eli and Brody reiterate his earlier words about caution. The smirk was because his plan worked and he had reaffirmed his place as the "smartest man in the room".
You've got to see it from Rush's perspective, he was brought in to the Stargate Program purely to work on Icarus and the 9th Chevron. Well Eli was the one who cracked the 9th Chevron, and McKay just reworked all of Rush's algorithms and made the dialing procedure safe. Combined with the fact that he got stuck in a simulation and had to be saved by Eli, Rush can feel his power slipping away.
So he did what he does best, manipulate people.

I think Rush has lost his selfishness and secrecy, everything he's been through and experienced i think he needs the crew.
Eli and Brody were about to do what Rush did in the first season +, he disagreed and didnt want them going that route, so he "dissuaded" them.
Still, what he did to Brody and watching Eli sweat was damn funny

Funny or not, what Rush did was 100% self motivated.

You're all overlooking one critical fact, Eli and Brody didn't screw up, they were perfectly safe in what they did. the only reason that Brody was trapped and Eli was panicking was because of Rush manipulating them. And the only reason he was manipulating them was because he heard Eli voice discontent.
