NEED TO KNOW
- Stephen Miller, Trump’s top adviser, and wife Katie Miller are caught between President Trump and Elon Musk’s high-stakes meltdown.
- Katie recently took a role supporting Musk’s media efforts at DOGE, while Stephen remains deep inside Trump’s inner circle.
- As Trump and Musk publicly feud, insiders wonder: can the Millers stay married to each other — and their respective billionaires?
Make America Awkward Again
Stephen and Katie Miller once shared everything: a wedding venue, three kids, and a hardline stance on immigration. But now, they also share something far more volatile: two wildly feuding tech-flavored egos with nuclear-grade Twitter fingers.
Katie Miller, who recently took a role with Elon Musk’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), found herself in a social-media blast zone after Musk publicly suggested replacing Trump with VP JD Vance. The next day, Trump threatened to cancel federal contracts for Musk’s companies, and Katie’s husband was quietly unfollowed by the tech mogul on X.
When Algorithms Attack
Elon unfollowing Stephen wasn’t just digital drama. In Washington, that’s how you end a treaty. Especially when your spouse’s profile still says “wife of @stephenm” next to a banner of a SpaceX rocket lifting off.
Katie laughed publicly at a meme showing Stephen photoshopped as a Home Depot employee. He, meanwhile, missed a Fox Business hit after being summoned to the Oval Office for damage control.
Between a Rocket and a Hard Base
Sources inside the White House say Katie’s employment under Musk has become “complicated.” Some worry about optics. Others say Stephen is untouchable, second in power only to Susie Wiles. But even in Trump World, sleeping with someone on Team Elon may eventually draw suspicion.
“She has to choose between Elon and Trump, but it can’t be both,” one aide said. That comment, reportedly made while holding a Diet Coke and trembling near the Resolute Desk, has echoed throughout the West Wing.

This isn’t the first time a Trump presidency has caused household tension. Just ask Kellyanne Conway. But the Millers may soon need their own conflict resolution team—preferably one that can parse constitutional crises and celebrity ego trips.
For now, the couple remains united publicly. But in D.C., loyalty is currency, and X follows are the new prenups.
