In a surprising move, Elon Musk has unfollowed Stephen Miller, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor under President Donald Trump, on X (formerly Twitter). This action highlights escalating tensions between the tech mogul and the influential political advisor.
The rift appears to stem from policy disagreements, particularly over immigration. Musk, a proponent of the H-1B visa program, has clashed with Miller’s hardline stance on immigration. In a heated exchange, Musk defended the program, stating, “The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B.” He further emphasized his commitment by declaring, “I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.”
Complicating matters, Katie Miller, Stephen Miller’s wife and former Trump administration official, recently left her White House role to work full-time for Musk. Her departure has fueled speculation about internal dynamics and potential personal tensions.
The unfollowing incident underscores the growing divide between Musk and key figures in Trump’s inner circle, reflecting broader fractures within the conservative movement over policy and influence.
