Katie Miller Denies Rift With Elon Musk, Confirms Continued Advising Role

Musk’s X unfollow of her preceded her xAI statement denouncing a Tennessee environmental group’s actions against the company.

Overview

  • In a Reuters interview, Miller confirmed her paycheck still comes from Musk but declined to specify whether she serves as his spokesperson or holds another advisory title.
  • Her first public statement for xAI in nearly two weeks condemned an environmental group’s campaign against the startup in Tennessee.
  • Elon Musk’s unfollow of Miller on X—coming after he briefly unfollowed her husband, Stephen Miller—fueled speculation of a personal or professional split.
  • Republican circles in Washington had circulated rumors of a fallout tied to Musk’s early June break with President Trump over federal spending disagreements.
  • Miller’s role as a former Trump administration aide and spouse of senior adviser Stephen Miller underscores the complex overlap of political loyalty and corporate allegiance.
