The soil is drying out too slowly or/and overwatering.

Remove the moss off the top soil to let the soil dry faster. Ponytail palms hold lots of water in the trunks. They like the roots to fully dry out between waterings.

Place it in a well draining mix if it’s in sphagnum moss alone. Moss holds too much water.

Give it lots of light. They thrive in full sun. Mine gets 8 hours of full direct sun and very bright shade.
