She is one half of a Trump-world power couple. But she’s on Team Elon. It’s gotten complicated.
It was the three-word gavel-bang heard across Washington — the conversation-ender meant to cow colleagues and cabinet secretaries, deployed daily by a slight woman with a big job:
“Elon wants this.”
For months, Katie Miller, the all-purpose operative for the world’s richest man, had been entrusted to help execute Elon Musk’s merry rampage through the federal government, conveying his priorities, his vision, his likes and dislikes with the tacit force of an executive order.
When she spoke, Ms. Miller implied to Trump acolytes high and low, they should proceed as if it were Mr. Musk’s mouth moving.
Where he walked, Ms. Miller invariably followed, sometimes trailing him straight into Oval Office meetings — and occasionally finding herself gently redirected back out of the room by White House staff, an administration official recalled.
Mr. Musk even held court regularly off the clock at the home Ms. Miller shares with Stephen Miller, President Trump’s most powerful policy aide, and their three young children, according to people familiar with the matter.
Now, Mr. Musk is gone — or out of Washington, anyway — in a spectacular, market-moving, mutually vicious fireball of a breakup with Mr. Trump.
And life in the home of Katie and Stephen Miller has gotten complicated.
Mr. Miller is the millennial avatar of all that MAGA loves and liberals loathe about the Trump agenda. His loyalty to the president is unquestioned. Ms. Miller, a 33-year-old veteran of the first Trump administration, is a top lieutenant for Mr. Trump’s friend-turned-enemy-turned-who-knows-what-now. How and whether the present arrangement can be sustained is uncertain — and widely buzzed about in Washington, especially among the many Trump allies who do not entirely miss her.

The left’s new smear target.
Implication is that Katie is shagging Elon.
This won’t be pretty to watch...but just so much fun.
This is just so Laura Loomer, Hardspunned (remember that mouthy clown?)
Well, that was interesting. I had no idea of her role..
Sounds like Matt flegenheimered in his shorts about this...
Ms Miller facilitated Musk’s entry into the world of Trump.
That must have made her the ultimate power broker in the administration. (According to the NYT).
What happened? I just saw him the other day.
