Likely because the USB flash drive was already setup as MBR (Master Boot Record) which Disk Utility on a Mac cannot overwrite without doing some extra steps. I've seen others mention that possibly setting up the flash drive as GPT (GUID Partition Table) would work better and be less prone to the dreaded X on the camera icon than a drive setup as MBR. My own USB flash drive has corrupted at least twice already so I just changed it over to GPT.
This can be done in Disk Utility on a Mac very easily, no need to venture into terminal to run diskutil. In Disk Utility go to the View menu and then select "View All Devices". This will allow you to see not just the partitions but the disks that the partitions are on. Select the drive, not the partition(s) on the drive, and then select "Erase" which will now allow you to change the scheme from MBR to GPT (GUID Parition Map in this case). The "MS-DOS (FAT)" format listed in Disk Utility is actually FAT32.

Now that the drive has been converted from MBR to GPT we can re-partition it in Disk Utility if you want to have separate partitions for TeslaCam and music. If you don't need to add any music to your USB flash drive then you don't need to follow these extra steps. Click the Partition button and you'll now be able to re-size the partition. Note that you will need to change the format to something else other than MS-DOS (FAT32) in order to re-size the partition. Don't worry, this is just to re-size the partition and create a new one. After the partitions have been created you can go back and use the Erase function to format the partition back to FAT32. Select the size of the partition that you want and then click Apply. After you have re-sized the original partition you created you can then select the unused space and format it as FAT32 as well.

Once both partitions have been successfully created double check if they're both formatted as FAT32. If not just select the partition and then select Erase and change the format to FAT32 (remember that "MS-DOS (FAT)" in Disk Utility is actually FAT32).
