Former White House aide Katie Miller, who's also the wife of deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, confirmed she's still working for tech mogul Elon Musk.
Rumors had swirled in Washington that Miller, who followed Musk out of the White House at the end of May, had ended her working relationship with the former Department of Government Efficiency head after his explosive falling-out with President Donald Trump, but she told Reuters that wasn't the case.
"My paycheck still comes from him," she told the news service.
Miller declined to describe her role with Musk or whether she serves as a spokesperson for him or his companies, but shortly after speaking to Reuters she issued a press release on behalf of his artificial intelligence company xAI condemning an environmental group's actions against the company in Tennessee.
Trump had appointed her as an adviser to the DOGE Service, but Miller left the White House with Musk and appeared to work for him as a communications adviser, but both of their recent social media activity suggested a split.
Miller took down a banner photo of a SpaceX rocket and instead highlighted her role as a wife and mother, while Musk recently unfollowed her account on his X platform after unfollowing her husband weeks earlier, although he now follows him again.
Individuals who have worked with Miller described her a Trump loyalist and expressed surprise that she would work for Musk as he seeks to undercut the president's policies and threatens third-party campaign activity to weaken the Republican Party.
