Trump Deputy Stephen Miller Takes to Fox News to Slam Elon Musk: ‘Doesn’t Represent’ the ‘American People’

Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, took to Fox News on Tuesday night to slam Trump administration alum Elon Musk and argue that the billionaire is an “outside voice” Republicans aren’t listening to.

Miller’s comments came after host Laura Ingraham broached the subject of Musk’s opposition to President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful” spending bill.

“Stephen, I’m going to ask you what I just asked Secretary [Scott] Bessent about Elon Musk’s threat today and yesterday to primary Republicans who campaigned for fiscal restraint, yet voted for the Big Beautiful Bill. He is furious for a lot of reasons but mostly citing the failure to rein in costs and spending. Your reaction to this tonight,” said Ingraham, prompting the high-profile Trump adviser.

“Well, this is the largest spending cut, Laura, in American history. Think about what’s in this bill. The largest tax cut and reform in American history. The largest spending cut in American history. The largest welfare reform in American history. The largest reduction in federal spending ever achieved in a single bill. And then it also includes the most robust, comprehensive border security and immigration enforcement package we’ve ever seen. One that will allow us to deport millions upon millions of invaders,” answered Miller, who continued:

To oppose this bill is to support the invasion. To oppose this bill is to support the continued giveaways and freebies to cheaters and scam artists. To oppose this bill is to support a 68% tax hike on the American public. And it’s also to oppose this bill, is to support a deprivation of all of the tax benefits that President Trump is fighting to deliver to the middle class. Like no tax on tips, no tax in social security, no tax on overtime. The Senate passed this bill just today demonstrating that they are fighting for President Trump, they are finding for his agenda, they are not going to listen to an outside voice that does not represent the interests of the American people, or the interest of the Republican Party. And the House is going to rally behind President Trump to pass this bill for America.
