Elon Musk has slapped down a salacious fake claim from his own AI fact checker involving Katie Miller, the wife of top Donald Trump aide Stephen Miller.
Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot integrated into X, responded to a screenshot of an X posting purported to be from Musk, which appeared to mock Stephen Miller by saying ‘just like I took your wife.’
The chatbot answered that the post ‘likely existed and was deleted.’
Musk sounded exasperated as he responded: ‘No, it’s fake ffs [face palm emoji]. I never posted this.’

Katie Miller, a prominent figure in Trump’s first administration, was spokesperson for Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency and she left that job to follow Musk to the private sector, taking a job with his companies.
Meanwhile, Stephen Miller, who is the president’s deputy chief of staff, was repeatedly defending Trump’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ in posts on X at the same time Musk was criticizing it.
Musk later unfollowed Miller but, as of Monday morning, is now following him again.
The competing stances on Trump’s signature legislation and the movement of Katie Musk away from the administration to the employment of Musk set the internet on fire with unfounded speculation about Musk’s relationship with the Millers.
But Musk’s post appears to be the first time he’s directly responding to any of the gossip.

Meanwhile, Katie Miller may face a tough choice between keeping her job with Musk or showing her loyalty to the president.
‘It’s unsustainable for her to remain on his payroll and remain a Trump ally,’ an administration official told Daily Mail.
Stephen Miller and Elon Musk were said to have a good relationship in the White House.
But Musk left the administration in a burst of fury, publicly slamming Trump’s budget plan to fund the federal government. Musk claimed it would add to the federal deficit and undo the cost-cutting work of his DOGE agency.
White House officials claimed the Tesla founder was angry because he didn’t get tax credits for electronic vehicles that he wanted.
Stephen Miller, a longtime Trump loyalist who served in the first administration, has defended the legislation.
But his rallying cry for Trump came as Katie Miller left the administration with Musk.
Stephen Miller was said to be supportive of the Tesla founder’s efforts to slash the size and scope of the federal government.
And there were reports Katie Miller’s main job at DOGE was to babysit the volatile and unpredictable Musk.
But one official told the Daily Mail there was a ‘conflict of interest’ during her time in the administration as she was also being paid by Musk.
For her work at DOGE, Katie Miller was designated a ‘Special Government Employee,’ which allows private sector figures to work for the federal government, but restricts them to 130 days per year.
The designation also allows a person to collect a government salary and a private sector salary.

The Millers have been married five years and have three small children. They met and married in Trump’s first term.
After Trump lost the 2020 election, Katie Miller became a consultant.
And her friends say she was just continuing that role when she opted to work with Musk instead of for the second Trump administration.
‘She’s a mom of three,’ one of them pointed out, noting her consultant job gave her a flexible work schedule.
Others have different theories.
‘Clearly a financial decision. She can make more in a month there than she can in a year here,’ one official said of Miller’s new employer.
Both Stephen and Katie Miller are MAGA loyalists. In the first term, he worked for the president and she became Vice President Mike Pence’s spokesperson.
Their 2020 wedding at what was then Trump’s Washington D.C. hotel was the MAGA social event of the year. President Trump attended. An Elvis impersonator serenaded them for their first dance.
