Stephen Miller avoids mentioning Elon Musk amid rumors over his wife as he defends Big, Beautiful bill.
Donald Trump's aide Stephen Miller strongly defended the 'Big, Beautiful Bill, without, however, naming Elon Musk once. He reposted other people's X posts and criticized them, put forward his point but did not repost Elon Musk's comments on the bill -- amid rumors that his wife Katie Miller has left him for Elon Musk.
The spending bill has become a flashpoint between Trump administration and Elon Musk as they are not on the same page following Elon Musk's exit from DOGE. Stephen Miller's wife has left her White House role to work for Elon Musk full time while the rumor is Katie Miller has also left Stephen Miller for Elon Musk. The Millers and Elon Musk did not issue any statement on the rumors. There were also speculations that Katie Miller, Stephen Miller and Elon Musk were a throuple before Stephen Miller was apparently left alone.
While Musk continued rallying against the spending bill, Stephen Miller acted as his counter as Miller called the bill 'the most essential piece of legislation...in generations."“One of the bigger points of confusion on the BBB is spending vs. tax cuts,” Miller wrote Wednesday morning.“The lefty CBO says extending the 2017 tax cuts (preventing their expiration) increases the deficit. Some critics have seen this figure and claimed or implied the bill increases *spending.*
Even according to CBO, the bill cuts spending over $1.6 trillion,” he continued.Miller attacked Republican senator Rand Paul who was supporting Elon Musk, but Miller personally avoided any mention of Musk. "So when a libertarian (eg Rand [Paul]) attacks the ‘deficit’ impact of the bill, they are attacking the tax cut. Of course, honestly accounted, extending current tax rates has zero deficit impact which is why the bill, because of its spending cuts, reduces the deficit," Stephen Miller wrote.
