Katie Miller’s Next Move After Musk: The ‘Womanosphere’

Katie Miller, who is married to one of the president’s most powerful aides, sat cross-legged in a tank top and bluejeans, facing her new YouTube audience.

“Welcome to my living room,” Ms. Miller said, as though doing her best imitation of an “MTV Cribs” guest star. “You may be wondering what I’m doing here, hosting a podcast.”

What Ms. Miller was doing here is a tale that goes back to early June, when Elon Musk, who was then her boss, began publicly feuding with her husband’s boss, President Trump. Immediately, Ms. Miller’s position seemed to many observers awkward and potentially untenable. How would she serve Mr. Musk while being married to Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff?

She would not. Last week, Ms. Miller announced she had left Mr. Musk’s orbit to follow in the great American tradition of starting a new show.

“This podcast is meant to be in my own words,” Ms. Miller told The New York Times, adding that she had “no thoughts on monetization yet,” meaning advertising or paid subscriptions. Her target audience is conservative women, she said in her introductory video, particularly working mothers interested in healthy living.

“There isn’t a place for conservative women to gather online,” Ms. Miller argued. Except there is — and it’s booming.
