Musk-Miller feud: Katie Miller used to give instructions on Elon’s behalf, White House sent a mail to bar her

Before Elon Musk and Donald Trump publicly fought and reached a point of no return, there was another ‘breakup’ that took place between Musk and the Millers — Stephen Miller and Katie Miller. Stephen Miller is the deputy chief of staff in the White House where Katie Miller used to work as Elon Musk’s spokesperson. But when Elon Musk stepped down from DOGE, Katie Miller chose to work full-time with Elon Musk. The disagreement between Donald Trump and Elon Musk was not a secret when Elon Musk walked out of the White House, but after their public fallout, the Millers are the most affected individuals. Elon Musk unfollowed Stephen Miller while Katie Miller is not issuing any public statements.
Musk vs Millers: Here are the inside details
- A Wall Street Journal report claimed that Karie Miller overreached her role and started giving instructions on Elon’s behalf. Special government employees like Katie Miller did not have any walk-in privileges in the West Wing unless they were working with the president, like Elon Musk. But Karie Miller was always flouting the rule — walking in and out of offices as she worked in the first Trump administration as well.
- An email was sent pout to the staff reminding them that they can’t walk into any office they want. The target was Katie Miller, and the mail was sent out from her husband’s department.
- As Elon Musk-Trump’s public slamming took an ugly turn, the Millers maintained silence but the WSJ report said that Katie Miller privately asked others to speak on her behalf. And the statement is that the Millers were “trying to cool the temperaute between Musk and Trump” Friday.
- Katie Miller is known to be a strong taskmaster who doesn’t think twice to blur ethical lines. People who worked with her told Journal that she used to exhaust people, and so they gave her what she wanted. And many people do not like that kind of intensity. One of her former colleagues told Journal that Katie Miller is a person who could tell from her memory the status of every project better than those who are running the projects.
- This is not the first time that Millers are torn between two bosses. Katie Miller continued working for Mike Pence and Stephen with Donald Trump when they had a split. But this time, the rumors were that Katie Miller was leaving Stephen Miller for Elon Musk.
- White House was not happy with Katie Miller’s role in DOGE, the WSJ report said as they feel that she did not do enough to persuade Musk to work with the agencies and the White House.
- While working as DOGE spokesperson, Katie continues working P2 Public Affairs, a Republican consulting firm and secured many clients meetings at the White House. After this got repored, she left P2.
