Top White House Aide Rails Against the Man Who Took His Wife
A livid Stephen Miller fired back against Elon Musk's criticisms of Donald Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' without mentioning the billionaire by name. The top White House aide's voice gradually rose as he touted the sprawling piece of legislation, which Musk has repudiated, in a Fox Business interview Friday. The interview comes as rumors of a personal spat between Miller and Musk continue to swirl. On his way out the door of the White House, Musk took Miller's wife with him. Katie Miller, who had been a top aide at Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, left her post—and her husband's side—to continue working for the tech billionaire. 'Tax cuts and reforms. American energy independence. Full, complete, permanent border security and the largest welfare reform in American history,' Miller wailed. 'That's not pork. That's not waste. That's not new spending. That is the most conservative piece of legislation in my lifetime.' Miller's comments were a direct rebuke of Musk—who has described the bill as 'pork-filled' and a 'disgusting abomination.' The SpaceX founder's criticisms have erupted into a messy break-up with Trump, with the two heavyweights exchanging a series of blows on social media. 'There's this myth out there that we could do the DOGE cuts in this bill,' Miller said, addressing a criticism posed by supporters of the formerly Musk-led group where his wife worked. 'But that's a separate process.' Miller never mentioned Musk by name, but host Larry Kudlow—a Trump ally—made the connection for him. 'I don't think Elon understood that,' Kudlow said, referring to the nuances of legislation. 'I don't want to get into all that stuff... He's got $180 billion up on his website, okay. And God bless him for that. He's been helpful on that, that's terrific thing.' Miller smirked but said nothing. Musk became close with the Millers during his stint in government. The Wall Street Journal reported that Katie Miller was with Musk 'all the time' before following him out the door. Musk reportedly spent time with the couple even outside of work. The relationship between Musk and his underling's husband has deteriorated. 'The only 'new' spending in the bill is to defend the homeland and deport the illegals—paid for by raising visa fees,' Miller wrote on X this week in another dig at Musk. 'All the other provisions? Massive spending cuts. There is no 'pork' in the bill. Just campaign promises.' Musk unfollowed Miller on X shortly after.

Fund-management veteran skips emotion in investment strategy
This article is based on TheStreet's Stock & Markets Podcast, Episode 8. Hosted by the veteran Wall Street investor Chris Versace, the weekly podcasts are available early to members of TheStreetPro investing club. The podcasts are also available on YouTube. More than 40 years ago Tina Turner famously asked the world: "What's love got to with it?" If the subject is investing, David Miller has a simple answer: not much. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Miller, chief investment officer of Catalyst Funds, spoke with Chris Versace, lead portfolio manager for TheStreet Pro Portfolio, in the June 4 edition, episode 8, of TheStreet Stocks & Markets Podcast, to talk about what his firm is looking for in a candidate for investment. "I think the sweet spot is where you have such a good business that even if people hate them they continue to grow and grow with high margins and high EPS growth," he said. Miller cited the billionaire entrepreneur, venture capitalist and political activist Peter Thiel, who advises founders and entrepreneurs to aim for a monopoly and avoid competition. "You're either in perfect competition or you have a monopoly or an oligopoly," he said. "And clearly, anyone who owns a business wants to be in that position where you have a monopoly rather than being in perfect competition." Related: Adviser who thrived on Black Monday sends warning on tariffs' next victim He described how airlines historically haven't even earned their cost of capital and frequently end up going bankrupt. Restaurants, he said, have very high fixed costs and "just never earn outsized economic profits." "Whereas you look at a company like a Visa (V) or Mastercard (MA) or a Microsoft or an Apple or an Adobe (ADBE) or an Nvidia," (NVDA) Miller said. "Phenomenal businesses, phenomenal margins, great tailwinds, really strong free cash flows." So why invest in companies that aren't monopolies when many of the best returning stocks in history have turned into monopolies? "[Frankly,] you don't have to try to pick which stock is going to be the best stock," Miller said. "You can just take these categories that are far superior businesses and invest in those. That's the ideology behind that fund and why we launched it." Miller pointed to Apple (AAPL) , explaining that "once you're in the Apple ecosystem, they own you." More Wall Street Analysts: Wells Fargo analysts reboot stock price targets after Fed actionApple analyst raises alarm about earnings, revenue growthAnalyst initiates SoFi coverage, mulls loans, growth prospects "You don't have a whole lot of choices and they can get great margins," he said. "As someone who's been trapped in the Apple ecosystem willingly since 2005 I am perfectly content and happy," Versace responded. "I certainly understand why a lot of people love Apple," Miller said. "I have the iPhone. I like Apple and I don't particularly like Microsoft, but I'm definitely a customer of Microsoft. I think the best businesses are those where you'll do business with them even if you don't like them." Miller said Tesla (TSLA) fits this dynamic, as the electric-vehicle maker "launched a new monopoly or an oligopoly depending on how you look at it certainly from a market share perspective." "Once you decide you're going to get an EV, it's a lot easier to go ahead and buy a Tesla and be part of their ecosystem than it is to ... buy an EV that's not part of that Tesla ecosystem," he added. Tesla shares have been thrashed lately - off 14% in regular trading June 5 - in light of Chief Executive Elon Musk's controversial involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency and backing of President Donald Trump. (The two have fallen out and Musk has rankled the White House by describing what the president called his "big, beautiful" budget bill as pork-laden and a "disgusting abomination.") And while Tesla stock is down nearly 22% in 2025, it remains up about 60% from a year ago. Miller said the courts provide one of the most telltale signs of a monopoly. "Once the courts start coming after you for being a monopoly, that's a pretty good indication that you have some monopolistic characteristics in your business whether or not you want to admit it," he said. Related: Tesla analysts raise red flag about rivalry, consumer interest in key market Companies that historically been the targets of court action for their monopolistic characteristics have been phenomenal investments, he added. "If you look at a company like Microsoft, (MSFT) if you got into [it when] the courts first came after them pretty hard, you'd be sitting pretty today," he said. Monopolies to avoid include electric and water companies. "If you're in a space where you have a product where your profits are regulated as to how much return on equity you can actually generate, we avoid those because what we want to go for is those that are growing monopolies." And Miller prefers to leave emotion out of the equation. "If people like a product, that's great," he said, "but what I really prefer is that they need the product rather than they like the product, and that there's some growing demand around it."

Lone Wolf Technologies Earns Great Place to Work Certification, Reinforcing Commitment to Excellence in Real Estate Technology
Employee satisfaction is 25% above the industry average, strengthening the foundation for superior customer service and long-term partnership stability DALLAS, June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lone Wolf Technologies ("Lone Wolf"), the leader in residential real estate software, and the longest-standing technology company in the real estate industry, today announced it has earned Great Place to Work Certification, with 71% of employees affirming it's a great place to work compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company. The certification, based on anonymous employee feedback measuring trust, respect, credibility, fairness, pride, and camaraderie, underscores the company culture that drives Lone Wolf's renowned customer service and product innovation across its Foundation platform, serving over 1.5 million real estate professionals. "Great workplace culture isn't just about employee satisfaction—it directly translates to better customer experiences," said Jimmy Kelly, chief executive officer at Lone Wolf Technologies. "When our team members are engaged and empowered, that energy flows through every customer interaction, every product enhancement, and every support call our real estate partners make." Culture as Competitive Advantage In an industry where technology vendors frequently change ownership, pivot strategies, or disappear entirely, Lone Wolf's strong workplace culture reinforces the stability that real estate professionals rely on for long-term partnerships. The certification validates the company's approach to attracting and retaining top talent in a competitive market. The Great Place to Work assessment evaluated Lone Wolf across five key dimensions: leadership credibility, respect for employees, workplace fairness, employee pride in the company, and sense of belonging. High scores across these areas indicate a stable, engaged workforce that directly benefits customer relationships. Talent Retention Drives Customer Success With employee turnover costs in technology rising, companies with strong workplace cultures demonstrate superior financial stability and operational consistency. Great Place to Work Certified companies show 51% higher retention rates than typical U.S. workplaces. For real estate professionals evaluating technology partners, vendor stability has become increasingly important. Companies with engaged, long-tenured employees are better positioned to provide consistent support, maintain product roadmaps, and honor long-term commitments. "Vendor stability is a big deal. We've used platforms that were great at first and then suddenly changed their pricing or support, or vanished altogether," said Ashley B. Harris. "Knowing Lone Wolf has been around for 36 years builds trust. In a world full of new, flashy tools, longevity matters. It tells me a company has adapted over time and is likely to keep evolving alongside us." Foundation Built on People The certification comes as Lone Wolf continues expanding Foundation, the real estate cloud, capabilities while maintaining the white-glove support standards that have defined the company for over three decades. The integrated suite includes transaction management, CRM, digital marketing, compliance tools, and back-office solutions designed to streamline real estate operations. Lone Wolf's hundreds of U.S.-based employees support real estate professionals across Canada, the U.S., and Latin America, with the company's culture of excellence evident in customer satisfaction scores and industry longevity. Industry Leadership Through People The Great Place to Work Certification adds to Lone Wolf's reputation as an industry leader that real estate professionals can count on for the long term. Recent partnerships, including the landmark five-year agreement with the First Multiple Listing Service, which serves 60,000 members, demonstrate the confidence the industry places in companies with strong operational foundations. Unlike venture-funded startups that may prioritize rapid scaling over sustainable culture, Lone Wolf's balanced approach to growth ensures both innovation and stability for its real estate partners. About Lone Wolf Technologies Lone Wolf Technologies, Inc. is the North American leader in residential real estate software, serving over 1.5 million real estate professionals across Canada, the U.S., and Latin America. With 36 years of industry experience, Lone Wolf provides cloud solutions for agents, teams, brokers, franchises, MLSs, and associations. The company's Foundation platform offers the entire real estate industry integrated tools to amaze clients, build business, and improve profits—from leads to contacts to transactions to back office to analytics—all in one secure, compliant platform.
