A significant turn of this dispute came when Musk’s associate Jred Isaqman was named NASA’s head. The nomination was canceled before voting as Gore described Trump as the political background of Isaqman, which mentioned the previous donation made to the Democrats. This step became a major reason for Musk’s anger. However, a administration official said that the final decision was made by President Trump to withdraw the nomination of Isaqman.

The dispute was further deepened when the Trump administration passed the tax-and-expenditure budget bill in the House of Representatives, which passed by a margin of only one vote. Musk’s opinion was considered important in this process.
