Stephen Miller 's wife Katie Miller , spokeswoman for the Department of Government Efficiency ( DOGE ), is leaving the White House to work full-time for Elon Musk . The development comes after Musk’s official departure from his advisory role in the Trump administration. Notably, Katie shared an X post, quoting Musk’s previous quote: “DOGE is a way of life, like Buddhism”.
Musk criticizes “One Big Beautiful Bill”
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO recently said that he was “disappointed” with the “One Big Beautiful Bill”, claiming it contradicted the budget-cutting goals he pursued during his tenure with DOGE i.e. Department of Government Efficiency. Katie’s husband and senior Trump aide Stephen Miller, critically responded to Musk's recent remarks.
“I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful, but I don't know if it can be both,” he said. “My personal opinion.”
Stephen Miller counters Musk's criticism
Shortly after Musk’s comments about the bill, Stephen Miller took to X (formerly Twitter) to clarify the limitations of the budget bill.
“Under senate budget rules, you cannot cut discretionary spending (only mandatory) in a reconciliation bill,” Miller wrote. “So DOGE cuts would have to be done through what is known as a rescissions package or an appropriations bill,” he added.
He further stated that the bill “does not fund the departments of government” nor finance federal agencies, pushing back against Musk’s claim that it undermined DOGE’s mission.
Katie Miller heads to Tesla-SpaceX world
Katie Miller, who previously served as a Special Government Employee — a temporary designation for private-sector professionals working in government — is expected to take on a new role with Musk, possibly involving his media relations for Tesla and SpaceX, according to CNN. Her departure comes as Musk phases out of political involvement and refocuses on his companies.
“I think I probably did spend a bit too much time on politics,” Musk said in a recent interview with Ars Technica.
Elon Musk exits DOGE
Musk officially resigned from his post leading DOGE yesterday. In a post on X, he announced “As my scheduled time as a Special Government Employee comes to an end, I would like to thank President Trump for the opportunity to reduce wasteful spending”.
“The DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government,” he added.

DOGE cuts are to discretionary spending. (Eg the federal bureaucracy). Under senate budget rules, you cannot cut discretionary spending (only mandatory) in a reconciliation bill.
