Senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller is facing public scrutiny after his wife, Katie Miller, exited her White House position to work full-time for Elon Musk, fueling a wave of speculation and online taunts from political opponents.
Katie Miller, who served as spokesperson and adviser for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), was seen leaving the White House alongside Musk, who himself announced his departure from his government advisory role last week. The move comes amid a broader exodus from DOGE, including Musk’s close aide Steve Davis.
Democrats seized on the moment, retweeting a Daily Beast report and posting a photo of an empty chair tagged with Stephen Miller’s handle, mocking the high-profile departures The White House has not commented on whether Stephen Miller will also leave his post.
Despite the public attention, Stephen Miller appeared unbothered, discussing his family life and Trump administration policies in a recent Fox News interview. He recounted meeting Katie during the first Trump administration, emphasizing their shared focus on border security.
While rumors have swirled about friction between Musk and Trumpworld, particularly after Musk criticized a major spending bill and Miller publicly pushed back, there is no evidence of a personal relationship between Musk and Katie Miller beyond their new professional connection Katie Miller is expected to continue working for Musk as he shifts his focus back to private ventures.
