What is the reason behind Trump and Musk Breakup?
This could be the principal reason behind the breakout between the two of them, and things are not looking very positive between them now.

After Trump mandated a new EV mandate, Musk grew away from him. This came shortly after Trump cancelled, the EV mandate that was proposed by Joe Biden. This essentially means that Trump is no longer willing to carry on the mandate set by Biden, which instates 50% EV vehicles in United States by 2030.
Musk is disappointed with this order by the president of the United States. This could be the principal reason behind the breakout between the two of them, and things are not looking very positive between them now.
Another reason that is being quoted, here is Elon Musk's mandate when he came in was DOGE, which has in a 100 days, become a brand in America. He was brought in to save $2 trillion and Trump wants to get this bill done and it doesn’t reduce the deficit.
Incidentally, America's spending prior, even in Trump's first term, was under a trillion dollars' deficit. Now we're at two trillion plus, and both at Biden and the Trump administration are on a two trillion plus deficit. That frustrated Musk.
