Katie Miller makes cryptic comment about 'best job in the world' after being unfollowed by boss Elon Musk
Katie Miller - who is married to Trump aide Stephen Miller - declared that she had the 'best job in the world' as she posed in a blue bikini with her family on the beach.
'Three kids later and I'm in the best shape of my life,' Miller wrote on X. 'If you needed a reason to have kids here it is: they make you better, stronger and life richer.
'Being a mom is the best job in the world. Cheers to a weekend in the summer sun.'
A fully-clothed Stephen Miller could be seen in the ocean holding one of their kids as she frolicked in the surf with their two other children. Her husband retweeted the post.
Her message came just days after Musk abruptly severed social media ties with her, raising immediate questions about whether she's still on his payroll.
Katie, 30, had served as a spokesperson for Musk's federally-backed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) before leaving government altogether in late May to work for Musk full-time.
Her departure shocked insiders and was interpreted by many as a betrayal of Trump in favor of the world's richest man. Her move to Musk's private team, insiders say, was about flexibility - and money.
Katie Miller has been unfollowed by billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk and responded with a cryptic, sun-drenched bikini X post declaring motherhood to be the 'best job in the world'
The timing of Katie's post, and the apparent emphasis on loyalty to family over politics or power, has ignited a fresh round of speculation.
Musk has been in an escalating war with Donald Trump - most recently over the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Also, Musk has unfollowed Katie Miller on X without any obvious explanation.
The mystery deepened when users noticed Musk had also unfollowed other Trump-world figures, including Senator Mike Lee, Rep. Nancy Mace, and Speaker Mike Johnson - all in one day.
The rift between Trump and Musk, once a bromance of mutual flattery, has disintegrated into an open feud.
Musk slammed Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill,' accused him of appearing in Epstein's files, and even endorsed impeachment.
Miller was 'deeply displeased' with Musk's attacks on the president's flagship legislation. He publicly defended the bill and blasted Musk's criticism, accusing the Congressional Budget Office of using 'accounting gimmicks' to inflate cost projections.
In retaliation, Trump threatened to strip Musk of billions in federal contracts, while Steve Bannon called for his deportation.
Stephen Miller, long thought to be a key Musk ally, now appears to be joining the opposition. Soon after, Musk unfollowed him, too.
As the drama plays out, DOGE - the agency at the center of the chaos - is reportedly collapsing.
According to Politico's West Wing Playbook, the department is hemorrhaging staff.
Eight of its original members have left and armed security is gone. 'Authorized Access Only' signs have also been removed.
Once Musk's pet project to slash government waste, DOGE now looks more like a discarded experiment.
In June, Musk appeared at the White House alongside Trump with a conspicuous black eye - one he claimed was from roughhousing with his son.
But that didn't stop internet sleuths from floating a darker theory and that Stephen Miller, incensed over his wife's defection to Musk, had delivered the blow himself.
The Millers' marriage has long been a MAGA spectacle. Their 2020 wedding at the Trump D.C. hotel was attended by the president himself as an Elvis impersonator crooned through their first dance.
They now have three young children, who accompanied them to this year's White House Easter Egg Roll.
After Trump's 2020 loss, Katie pivoted to consulting. When Trump returned to power, she joined DOGE as a 'Special Government Employee,' a designation that allowed her to work part-time for the government while maintaining private contracts.

Confusion as Donald Trump joins Chelsea on stage after Club World Cup win
United States President Donald Trump joined Chelsea on stage as they celebrated their Club World Cup success on Sunday. Cole Palmer scored twice and set up another as the Blues stunned favourites Paris St Germain 3-0 in front of Trump in the final in New York. Trump, who was briefly booed by some of the 81,118 crowd at the MetLife Stadium, then presented Chelsea with the trophy alongside Gianni Infantino, president of world governing body FIFA, after the game. After handing the silverware to Chelsea captain Reece James, Trump was then invited to move out of the way by Infantino. However, he remained in position as James lifted the trophy and the team began their celebrations amid fireworks and confetti. 'They told me that he was going to present the trophy and then exit the stage, and I thought that he was going to exit the stage, but he wanted to stay,' said James afterwards. Asked what Trump had said to him, James added: 'To be honest it was quite loud. I couldn't hear too much. He just congratulated me and the team for lifting the trophy and told us to enjoy the moment.' Match-winner Palmer had appeared bemused by the situation. He said afterwards: 'I knew he was going to be here but I didn't know he was going to be on the stand when we lifted the trophy. I was a bit confused, yes.' Chelsea's victory, the culmination of FIFA's newly-expanded 32-team tournament, also earned them a jackpot in excess of £90million. Trump earlier said he had enjoyed the occasion, telling broadcaster DAZN at half-time: 'I am having a really great time. Tremendous sport.' In a longer recorded interview broadcast after the game, the president, who revealed his favourite player of all time was Pele, added when asked about the competition: 'It's a big thing. 'Gianni is a friend of mine, he's done such a great job with the league and with soccer – or as they would call it 'football', but I guess we call it soccer. But I'm sure that change could be made very easily. 'But it's great to watch – and this is a little bit of an upset that we're watching today, isn't it? So far. It's incredible.' When it was suggested he could make an executive order to rename the sport, Trump said with a smile: 'I think we could do that, I think I could do that.' The US leader was also asked if he could see a day when the USA, which will co-host the men's World Cup along with Canada and Mexico next summer, could dominate in football, and he replied: 'I can tell you we're doing very well on the other stage, on the political stage, on the final stage. 'We were doing very badly as a country. We had an incompetent administration and now we have a hot country. It's really hot and I think the soccer is going to be very hot here too.'

Stunned soccer fans all say the same thing as Trump 'hits on' glamorous DAZN reporter in 'embarrassing' Club World Cup interview
President Donald Trump was a constant presence on the television screens of those watching the Club World Cup Final - including in a post-game interview after Chelsea won the tournament. Relatives and those who are close to the President were heavily involved in the preparation and promotion for this expanded tournament. So when the day of the final came at MetLife Stadium, Trump was seated in a luxury box, handed out awards, and was inexplicably right next to Chelsea captain Reece James for the trophy lift. But his DAZN interview with reporter Emily Austin at the conclusion of the game drew ire from social media. After the game concluded, the broadcaster aired a three-and-a-half minute long interview with Trump where he took jabs at his political opponents while also discussing the future of the sport in the country. US President Donald Trump's interview on DAZN at Metlife Stadium as Chelsea get crowned World Champions 🏆💙 #ClubWorldCupFinal — David Maina Ndung'u (@DMainaNdungu) July 13, 2025 President Donald Trump wasn't the most welcome presence at the Club World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium on Sunday as the crowd booed him when he went on the pitch in New Jersey After the match, DAZN aired a three-and-a-half minute interview of Trump with Emily Austin Trump initially dodged a question about how the United States national soccer teams could begin to dominate on the global stage by saying, 'we're doing very well on the other stage, on the political stage, on the financial stage.' Trump continued: 'All the leaders said a year ago, "your country was dead and now you have the hottest country in the world"... We were doing very badly as a country, we had an incompetent administration... But now we have a hot country, it's really hot, and I think the soccer's gonna be hot too.' Toward the end of the interview, Trump was asked what his message to viewers around the world would be before the World Cup arrives next year. 'It's about unity, it's about everybody getting together and a lot of love between countries... I guess this is probably the most international sport, so it can really bring the world together,' Trump said. On social media, the interview drew criticism and outrage - seemingly echoing the boos that Trump and FIFA president Gianni Infantino received when they walked out onto the pitch for the trophy presentation. Some believed that Trump was flirting with the reporter asking the questions, with one comment on X saying, 'Trump is just hitting on the blonde interviewer on DAZN while chatting his nonsense. What the hell is this??' Many others were critical of DAZN allowing Trump a platform in the middle of an international soccer tournament to rail against his political enemies. Alfie House of the Daily Echo posted, 'Why are DAZN broadcasting a political party interview with Donald Trump? This is absurd.' Social media was critical of DAZN for airing the interview while some believed that the President was 'hitting on' Austin during the report which aired after the game had ended 'Why the f**k are dazn televising and doing an interview with trump at the club World Cup? How can they genuinely think that's a good idea after everything he's done,' said another viewer. One viewer posted, 'DAZN kissing Trump's a**e. It's embarrassing.' Another said, 'No DAZN it's not great to hear from President Trump.' 'This dazn trump interview is straight up propaganda,' another comment read. Another said, 'This Trump interview is honestly embarrassing. Dazn & FIFA should be ashamed'. Chelsea clinched the Club World Cup title for the second time in their history, beating Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in front of a sold out crowd in New Jersey. Cole Palmer bagged a first half brace before new signing Joao Pedro put away the final goal of the match.

Gold prices scale three-week peak as Trump widens trade war
July 14 (Reuters) - Gold prices touched a three-week high on Monday, supported by safe-haven demand after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 30% tariff on imports from the European Union and Mexico. Spot gold was up 0.2% at $3,361.19 per ounce, as of 0134 GMT, after hitting its highest point since June 23 earlier in the session. U.S. gold futures climbed 0.4% to $3,376. "We are seeing safe-haven demand coming back into the picture due to this uncertainty on the implementation of U.S. global trade tariffs policy," OANDA senior market analyst Kelvin Wong said. "Near-term outlook looks positive for gold and if gold prices are able to have a daily close above $3,360, it could potentially advance higher towards the next resistance level at $3,435." Trump on Saturday threatened to impose a 30% tariff on imports from Mexico and the European Union starting on August 1, after weeks of negotiations with the major U.S. trading partners failed to reach a comprehensive trade deal. Both the European Union and Mexico described the tariffs unfair and disruptive, while the E.U. said it would extend its suspension of countermeasures to U.S. tariffs until early August and continue to press for a negotiated settlement. Investors now await the U.S. inflation data for June due on Tuesday for more cues on the Federal Reserve's interest rate path. Markets are currently pricing in just over 50 basis points worth of Fed easing by December. Gold, often considered as a safe-haven asset during economic uncertainties, tends to do well in a low-interest-rate environment. SPDR Gold Trust , the world's largest gold-backed exchange-traded fund, said its holdings fell 0.12% to 947.64 metric tons on Friday from 948.80 tons in the prior session. Meanwhile, gold speculators cut net long positions by 1,855 contracts to 134,842 in the week ended July 8. Spot silver gained 0.6% to $38.59 per ounce, platinum fell 1.6% to $1,377.37 and palladium slipped 2.1% to $1,189.
