Yesterday, Katie Miller opened X and shut down her podcast: "With @StephenM taking on this new role for President Trump, I've decided to stop recording new podcast episodes." She lobbied to get her husband the job, and nobody has told the public who pays her.
She spent weeks telling Trump's circle to call the president for her husband, half a dozen calls after the Nov. 3 rout alone, Politico reported Friday night. Susie Wiles resigned Thursday night and Trump named Miller on Friday.
Katie Miller is the pivot. She worked with Elon Musk on DOGE, and then left the White House to work for him, as The Narativ reported then. Two months later she launched a podcast, and Musk gave it its one hit episode, 1.1 million YouTube views; the New York Stock Exchange's president drew 4,600 and the FCC chairman 6,300. She told Axios at the launch that investors backed the show, but she has never named them.
