MAGA influencer Katie Miller, wife of White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller and former advisor to DOGE leader Elon Musk, criticized U.S.
Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) over stock trading after he suggested the federal government should tax the newly minted trillionaire.
Khanna said during an interview (below): “For 5% tax one time on Elon Musk, you could have universal child care in America.
$10 a day for every family.”
Musk replied: “He’s such an evil liar.”
Miller replied: “Ro is the number one stock trader in Congress.
Last year, he reported 4,300 trades with 59 million in total trade volume.
He also recently purchased a $9.5 million home in the DC area.”
Khanna replied to Miller: “Katie thinks the scandal is that I want billionaires to pay a little more in taxes.
The real scandal is that a handful of billionaires now hold vastly more wealth than millions of working Americans.
I believe those who have succeeded through work and entrepreneurship, including my family, should support our nation that made that success possible.
That’s the difference in our philosophy.”
Right-wing influencer Mike Cernovich replied to Khanna, “Where is the money going to go? Another railway to nowhere? Home healthcare scams? Learing [sic] Centers? I hate that you make me defend billionaires, who overall are odious people and destructive for the country, not because of their wealth.”
[NOTE: Addressing stock trading, Khanna said in a statement: “I do not own or trade stocks and have led the fight to ban stock trading.
My household’s only investments are in a trust that my in-laws set up before marriage, managed independently by a third party trustee in full compliance with the Office of Government Ethics (OGE) and House Rules.”]
