Because Elon rage quit the "let's destroy the government and funnel more cash to me" game.
Elon didn't go anywhere. Him leaving was theater in the hopes that his stocks would stop cratering.
DOGE seems to have slowed way down. I actually think Musk's involvement has waned a lot, he has become persona non grata in cabinet meetings and day-to-day WH activities.

It's more like bad comedy.
At some point in the show Gallagher runs out of watermelons to smash and has to tell some jokes.
He came down from that ket high and finally noticed that the fiction propping up his imagined wealth was falling apart.
He didn't quit, he just stepped out of the spotlight. It needs to be poibted back at him to bring that Tesla stock price down again (although that's probably unnecessary woth their sales collapse since even the most brain rotted investors will sell once bankruptcy hits)
