You might have seen Elon has a black eye today? He says it's because one of his (many, many) kids punched him...but he is also known for being quite economical with the truth:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14766599/Elon-Musk-black-eye-sparks-rumor-Stephen-Millers-wife-quits-Trump-admin-DOGE.html

'I wasn't anywhere near France,' Musk joked. 'I was just horsing around with Little X, and I said, "Go ahead, punch me in the face," and he did.'

Who (in their right mind) asks their kid to punch them in the face??? 🙄 how ridiculous. Maybe the truth is Stephen Miller sent a fist flying his way after his wife ran off to work with Elon?

Also (from the same story):

It's not the first time Musk has allegedly been involved in a West Wing fracas after former Chief Strategist Steve Bannon told DailyMail.com that there was an incident when he physically 'shoved' 62-year-old Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent after he was confronted over wild promises to save the administration 'a trillion dollars'.

'Scott Bessent called him out and said, 'You promised us a trillion dollars (in cuts), and now you're at like $100 billion, and nobody can find anything, what are you doing?'' the prominent MAGA figure revealed.

'And that's when Elon got physical. It's a sore subject with him. It wasn't an argument, it was a physical confrontation. Elon basically shoved him.'

Steve Bannon is also a heinous liar, but on this one I'm more inclined to believe him (plus he hates Elon with a burning, burning hatred).

Cuck-a-doodle-doo!

Democrats taunt White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller over wife Leaving with Musk: The Daily Beast

Democrats have little to be giddy about these days, but they took pleasure in taunting White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller as Elon Musk made his White House exit with Miller’s wife at his side.

The official X account of the Democrats had a spicy post on Friday where they simply tagged Stephen Miller’s handle and included an image of an empty chair in a corner of what looked like a hotel room.

The post retweeted the Daily Beast’s report that Miller’s wife, Katie, a DOGE adviser and spokesperson, was also on her way out of the Trump administration to work for the tech billionaire full time.

As the world’s richest person makes his departure, people across the internet have been all too happy to speculate over Musk and the Millers.

First up, this post is not meant to be racialist, and I apologise if it comes across that way - but I saw this question posed on Reddit and wanted to know what people here thought.

One of the rumours about Musk's black eye is that it came from the fist of Stephen Miller (the orange buffoon's borderline-Nazi immigration hater, who thinks that any immigration is bad). Apparently - or so the rumour goes - Musk had hit on his wife Katie, and that's why she's leaving the White House, to go and work for Elon, which her husband was not happy about.

Here's the couple here in happier(?) times: https://www.thecut.com/article/who-is-katie-miller-elon-musk-doge-drama-explained.html

What I find puzzling is why a white supremacist moron like Miller would have a wife like her - my guess is she looks to be of possibly Latin American or Italian ancestry (happy to be corrected - Google suggests she could be Jewish), but wouldn't she be descended from immigrants? If that's the case, why is she with such a horrible, racist, nasty POS like him???

In any case, if the black eye was indeed from Miller, I think he feels the same rage a few people feel about Elon at the moment!

Again I sincerely apologise if my post is racist or comes across that way, that wasn't my intention.

Skin color appearance is a bad guide for ethnicity as always. Appearance could be anything. May be nothing more than contrast to Miller who knows.

Katie Miller's Wikipedia page says she is Jewish and says a Conservative rabbi (the denomination not the politics) officiated at her wedding. Stephen Miller's Wikipedia page says his parents are Jewish.

Why Miller promotes White Nationalist views and various conspiracy theories and outright lies is anyone's guess. He's been doing it at least since he started high school where he was a constant racist apparently.

In Mongolia there is a right wing Nationalist movement that celebrates Hitler and his philosophy.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsagaan_Khas

Though the wrongs of past authoritarian regimes, pushed and pulled by Russia and China has probably contributed.

There is a degree of getting a pass if you are of an ethnicity but hard right wing, with the program on everything else.
Though you do get reveals, like Ramaswamy, even though he was at the time in full ultra MAGA mode, quiet questions about if his parents really had American citizenship.

No one in MAGA really cares where Melina came from, how or how her parents got into America.

Money and Power, you hook up with the clique that drives you forward.

Its a bit like the right wing Latinos who did not want more Latinos coming in after them competing so very comfy with MAGA ?

In the end life is complicated.
Was it Elon's magnetic personality, money, drug collection, or comparatively it was a good swap ?

Oh I knew it was just a matter of time...and that time has finally come.

I'm more surprised they actually remained BFF's as long as they did!

I am personally surprised it lasted this long… but I do believe they will kiss and make up in time as their mutual love of money will ultimately drive them back together.

But who knows.
