Original: Elon Musk Promised to Gut the Deep State. Did He Go Too Far?

The New York Times is now asking whether that push has crossed a line, as critics warn of weakened public services and legal challenges mount over the scale of the restructuring.
Why now: Musk's aggressive downsizing of the federal government is generating fresh debate over whether his actions exceed legal and democratic limits.
