Story summary

Katie Miller, wife of White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, has been promoting an AI company called Grok, while repeatedly attacking OpenAI and Anthropic on social media. However, it was recently discovered that she owns around $1 million in stock for another AI company, xAI, founded by Elon Musk. This financial stake was not previously disclosed. As a result of this discovery, there are questions about her motivations for promoting Grok and attacking other AI companies. The Washington Post found this information through White House financial disclosures. In response to the story, FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson defended Katie Miller, accusing the Post of partisan attacks rather than declining to comment.
