Meanwhile, Stephen Miller, along with Project 2025 members and office of management and budget director Russell Vought, became one of Musk’s closest allies in the administration, the New York Times reported earlier this month. Wired learned that the relationship is much more and more complicated than previously known in public.
In many ways, Musk’s focus on federal agencies is perfect in accordance with the purpose of Miller, which Doge’s work proposed internally and even contributed to making a lot of it possible. (In public, Miller federal workers equated ‘radical left -wing communists’ and ‘criminal cartels.’) Sources says that Trumpworld is more comfortable with Musk taking the heat for the recent federal cuts rather than the less famous – and according to them much less Telegenic – Miller.
But through their actions so far, the Millers and Musk have developed a Maga version of the Pet Shop Boys saying from the song “Opportunities (let’s make a lot of money)”: You have the brawn / I have the brain. Stephen Miller’s knowledge of the federal apparatus, Katie Miller’s contacts on Capitol Hill, and the couple’s good status among Trump loyalists, along with the relentless ambition of Musk and effectively infinite resources, enabled the scope of the Doge Government takeover. Musk is not the independent actor he regularly portrayed as and in other words, but is rather performing actions in collaboration with the man to whom the president has delegated a large part of the daily management.
“Stephen is a kind of prime minister,” one of three Republicans close to Trump and familiar with the situation, says Wired. Another Republican familiar with dynamics also used the term ‘Premier’ to describe Miller, short for Prime Minister. The implication is that Miller is performing the daily work of management, while Trump serves as head of state, and focuses on the fun parts of president.
The White House did not answer questions about who reported or exceeded.
The millers are seen in Trumpworld as glorified care for Musk, and have the task of ensuring that he stays within limits as far as possible. “He gets a lot of grace,” said the first Republican of Musk. “Many people are not nervous because Stephen Miller is deeply involved. And Katie. ”These Republican compared Muskus to a preteen child.
The involvement of the millers is also one of the many reasons why Trumpworld sources say that they are not currently taking place a collapse between Trump and Musk, although Rifts, as previously reported, has already appeared within the president’s level of the Centibillionaire.
Still, Musk’s relationship with the millers became a topic of great plot in Washington, as Doge is still ruining the federal government. Little is known about how often they interact outside work and how the relationship in the late stages of the campaign grew to the transition.
“If you can find out about Stephen Miller’s social life, I don’t want to know the answer,” says a long -standing republican operator who knows the couple personally.
‘Stephen and Katie are very attentive to [Musk]”Tell the Republican who referred to Stephen as ‘Prime Minister’ to Wired. There is also only one audience that really matters, they say, “He has a forgiving audience: the audience of one, and all of us around him.”
