They are letting it happen because (1) all 3 branches are controlled by his "team," and their ideology is dominated by tribalism, so they are complicit, and more than you would expect actually want him to do what he's doing, and (2) the last 80 years has seen nigh unlimited power transferred from the legislative branch to the President, and Musk currently has the full backing of the President, so there's very little that people working in the executive branch can actually do to stop it.
