Stephen Miller corrects his wife's boss Elon Musk in ANOTHER intriguing tweet

Stephen Miller corrects his wife's boss Elon Musk in ANOTHER intriguing tweet

Daily Mail​2 days ago

Stephen Miller launched another intriguing tweet correcting Elon Musk, his wife's employer, shortly after touting his happy family life.
'The Big Beautiful Bill decreases total spending over the budget window by nearly $2 trillion,' the top adviser to President Donald Trump wrote on X Sunday.
The tweet comes after an interview aired with Musk on CBS This Morning in which the Tesla founder admitted to differences with the administration.
'It's not like I agree with everything the administration does,' said Musk, who left his formal government role last week.
He went on to express his disappointment with Trump's legislative blue print, saying it 'undermines the work' of his Department of Government Efficiency, which sought to make massive cuts to federal spending by cutting contracts, killing agencies and firing workers.
The back-and-forth drama over government spending between the two men close to Trump has been amplified after Stephen's wife Katie Miller decided to follow Musk to the private sector amid his exit from the White House inner circle.
Katie Miller, a prominent figure in Trump's first administration, was spokesperson for Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.
Stephen Miller, who serves Deputy White House Chief of Staff, has never called out Musk by name in his tweets but his defense of the president's legislation is clear and the timing coincides with Musk's criticism of the bill. Other members of the Trump administration have been just as vocal in defending the 'big, beautiful bill.'
DailyMail reached out to the White House for comment on the matter.
Stephen and Katie Miller have been married for over five years.
The couple met through their work in the first Trump administration. They married on February 16, 2020 at what was then Trump's hotel in Washington D.C. The president attended the event as did several prominent figures in Trump's first term, making it one of the social events of the year among the MAGA crowd.
They have a daughter and two sons, whom they brought to the White House Easter Egg Roll in April.
Stephen Miller touted their great family life in an interview with Lara Trump that aired Saturday on Fox News.
'This is the most family-friendly work environment. You can bring your kid to work any time you want,' he said of working in the White House.
He also described President Trump as 'great with kids.'
'My daughter is always asking to see the president again…She's always desperate for any chance to get face time with the president,' he said.
Miller did not, however, discuss Katie's new role with Elon Musk in the interview.
But he did talk about how they met, when he was an adviser in the White House and she was spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security.
'When I first met her, she was the communications director at the Department of Homeland Security, so it's very on-brand, the relationship, because we were on conference calls every day on border security,' he said.
Musk, meanwhile, formally left the Trump administration on Friday, holding court with the president in an Oval Office press conference.
The Tesla founder sported a black eye during the event, which he said was the result of his son X punching him.
But even before he departed the White House Musk made clear his disagreement with the 'big beautiful bill,' which is Trump's signature legislation that funds the government.
Musk said he was 'disappointed to see the massive spending bill' because it increases the budget deficit and undermines DOGE.
'I was, like, disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, doesn't decrease it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,' he told CBS News.
I said, 'I actually thought that, when this 'big, beautiful bill' came along, it'd be like, everything he's done on DOGE gets wiped out in the first year.'
'I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful,' Musk added with a laugh. 'But I don't know if it could be both. My personal opinion.'
The legislation will add about $3.8 trillion to the federal government's $36.2 trillion in debt over the next decade, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
Musk has claimed to save the federal government billions through his DOGE efforts.
He was designated a 'Special Government Employee,' which allows private sector figures to work for the federal government, but restricts them to 130 days per year.
Katie Miller had the same designation so she also had to leave the administration or get an exemption to stay on board with Team Trump.
She, instead, took a full time gig with Musk, handling press for him as he returns to his business interests, which took a hit during his controversial time with the government.

BREAKING NEWS King of the Hill actor Jonathan Joss' suspected killer is out of jail on $200K bail following fatal shooting

Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, the man suspected of fatally shooting King of the Hill and Parks and Recreation actor Jonathan Joss, is out of jail on a $200,000 bail. Just days after he was arrested for murder, law enforcement officers in San Antonio confirmed to TMZ that Alvarez, who was Joss' neighbor, has 'been placed under house arrest.' He is required to wear an ankle monitor and will 'undergo random drug and alcohol testing.' During his detention, Alvarez is also forbidden from possessing firearms. Joss, 59, died in San Antonio, Texas, on Sunday after a reported altercation with Alvarez outside his home. Alvarez was captured by law enforcement and booked on suspicion of murder. The report from the San Antonio Police Department obtained by states Alvarez uttered 'I shot him' as he was detained by arresting officers. New details about the run-up to the violent crime have also emerged via the report, with an unnamed witness stating they drove Joss from Austin to his burned down San Antonio home around 7pm on June 1 to check his mail. The witness said she pulled up and parked in the driveway while she waited for Joss and another witness to check the mail. Joss' husband Tristan Kern de Gonzales has claimed he was with the actor on this trip and during the murder. Per the report, she said she saw suspect Alvarez pull up in his vehicle with a passenger and stop 'directly behind her car.' She allegedly saw Joss and Alvarez argue in her rearview mirror, and claimed Alvarez told Joss 'he had a gun and would shoot [Joss].' She claims Alvarez then shot Joss. Per the report, Joss was pronounced dead at the scene at 7.20pm and Alvarez was detained by police and 'immediately told them "I shot him." His weapons were seized. The report states that '[Alvarez] intentionally and knowingly discharged a weapon at [Joss] resulting in his death Joss' husband has since claimed the star's death was a homophobia-fueled murder - although police have dismissed this theory. A statement from a San Antonio PD spokesman read: 'Despite online claims of this being a hate crime, currently the investigation has found no evidence to indicate that Mr. Joss's murder was related to his sexual orientation.' Last Saturday, Joss — who boasts 9K social media followers — shared a video of himself in good spirits, urging fans to visit him at Tribe Comics and Games in Austin, TX for a signing. The Our Lady of the Lake University grad's last IMDb-credited gig was voicing characters for CD Projekt RED's video game Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty in 2023 alongside Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba. Jonathan also voiced the character Healing in Paul McComas and Holly Trasti's animated drama Unplugged alongside the late Louis Gossett Jr., the late Ed Asner, Christina Ricci and Jeri Ryan. But Joss is best known for voicing musician and healer John Redcorn, who embarked on a 14-year-long affair with anchorwoman Nancy Hicks-Gribble (Ashley Gardner), on the Fox animated sitcom from seasons 2–13. On January 23, Jonathan suffered the loss of his three beloved dogs when his childhood home, that his father built in 1957, burned to the ground. Joss also lost his car in the blaze, but the GoFundMe organized by Logan Kostroun successfully raised $21,300 from a $15K goal. But neighbors told TMZ on Monday that his house burned down because he attempted to use a BBQ pit to heat it after the city allegedly 'shut off his power when the property was deemed unsafe and uninhabitable.' On Monday, the star's widow Tristan Kern de Gonzales — whom he wed on Valentine's Day — claimed he was murdered after they were 'harassed' for two years by 'openly homophobic' individuals who 'did not accept our relationship.' 'When we returned to the site to check our mail, we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress,' the South Carolina native recalled on Facebook. 'While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons.' 'My focus now is on protecting Jonathan's legacy and honoring the life we built together,' Tristan wrote in a Facebook He continued, 'We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life.' Tristan added, 'My focus now is on protecting Jonathan's legacy and honoring the life we built together.' Jonathan is also remembered for his role as Chief Ken Hotate in five episodes of NBC's mockumentary sitcom Parks and Recreation spanning 2011–2015. Joss had small roles in TV shows like Walker Texas Ranger, Charmed, ER, Ray Donovan and Tulsa King. He also acted in films like True Grit, The Magnificent Seven, Pocahontas 2: Journey to a New World and Johnson Family Vacation.
