Because he has made some very powerful enemies. SpaceX encroached on ULA's turf in the military satellite launch business with a vastly more cost-effective solution. SolarCity is making energy utilities across the country nervous because it threatens their monopoly (just read about the so far successful push from Buffett's NV Energy to stop the advance of distributed solar in the state of Nevada). Tesla just sent Detroit into catatonia with the Model 3 launch and their (almost sure to be a) half-million reservations for a car that will exist only in two or more years.
None of these forces will go silently into the night. This feels like a deliberate, coordinated attack that hits Musk personally, and all three of his companies at once.
