What would seem like a reasonable, measured response right now?

It’s worth adding here too that Musk’s own purported ambitions are entirely political. He has even gone so far as to claim he has given up on democracy. Ironically, he also claimed this election was crucial. DOGE is a politically motivated program.

This is all worthy of intense scrutiny and concern

A response to what? I fully support kicking out illegal immigrants and dismantling government agencies that are only wasting taxpayer dollars.

When I called out hyperbolic hysterics I mean things like what you said here:

"The playbook is bizarrely tight to Hitler, Mussolini, hints of Stalin"

These people murdered/executed millions of innocent people.

Has Trump come close to executing even one person?

That's why it's hard for me to take the Left seriously when they engage in hysterics like this.
