According to the New York Times Trump's withdrawal of Jared Isaacman nomination to be the head of NASA made Elon Musk furious and that's what set off their fight. Trump found out that a few years ago Isaacman had given some money to a Democrat's campaign fund, and he couldn't allow that.

Hi John. I've seen the article, but I don't think this is the best explanation. Many of Trump's current top collaborators e.g. Tulsi and RFK Jr. were members of the Democratic Party, and compared to that surely Isaacman's episodic donations are very minor offenses. No, I think Trump *wanted to fight Musk* over issues that were present much before becoming public.
