   It’s Miller Time:

   Musk’s Takeover Is Being Aided by Trumpworld Power Couple

   Stephen and Katie Miller—he's “the prime minister,” she’s DOGE’s comms guru—liaise between WH & #Musk, & are centrally involved as he tears govt apart.

   Her relationship w Musk is central to DOGE’s interactions w rest of WH. She’s the key intermediary, delivering DOGE message of the day to the rest of admin. She’s also the one to deliver any sensitive or bad news to Musk”

     3/ “ Still, sources tell WIRED that Trumpworld is more comfortable with Musk taking the heat for the recent federal cuts rather than the less famous—and, in their view, far less telegenic—Miller.”

     2/ “Meanwhile, Stephen Miller has, along with Project 2025 coauthor 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 has learned that the relationship is far closer, and more complicated, than has been previously known publicly.”

     4/ “ Stephen Miller’s knowledge of the fed apparatus, Katie Miller’s contacts on Capitol Hill,& the couple’s good standing among Trump loyalists, coupled w Musk’s relentless ambition & effectively infinite resources, made scale of the DOGE govt takeover possible. Musk is not the indep actor he’s often portrayed as and taken to be, in other words, but is rather carrying out actions essentially in concert with the man to whom the president has delegated much of the day-to-day work of governance”

     5/ “ The involvement of the Millers is also one of the many reasons why Trumpworld sources say they now don’t currently see an implosion between Trump and Musk happening anytime soon even though, as WIRED previously reported, rifts have already emerged within the president’s inner circle over the centibillionaire’s level of power.”

     Amazing that Stephen Miller found a spouse as loathsome as he is. I always assume she was a complicit bystander, like Melania. Shocking to hear she's just as instrumental as he is.

     @GottaLaff The question (rhetorical) I have is: why live here, then? Why not just move to Dubai or wherever and leave us real patriots who prefer democracy alone?

     @SharonCrockett ??

     They’ve literally said out loud that they want democracy and govt to fail, and simply want to rule. Project 2025.

     No, they’ve never loved their country. EVER. And that was based on their words, before their actions were even possible, starting with Trump 2011 birtherism.

     @GottaLaff These people don’t love their country, as far as I can tell, based on their actions.
