Gavin Newsom’s Press Office Calls Stephen Miller A ‘Fascist Cuck’ Amid Rumors About His Wife And Elon Musk

U.S. News

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s official press account called President Donald Trump’s top immigration adviser Stephen Miller a “fascist cuck” on Friday, possibly alluding to rumors that Miller’s wife had a sexual relationship with billionaire Elon Musk.

The online feud Friday sparked when Miller called U.S. District Court Judge Maame E. Frimpong a “communist” on X after she ordered the Trump administration to stop conducting indiscriminate immigration stops and arrests.

“This is another act of insurrection against the United States and its sovereign people,” Miller wrote.

In response to Miller’s statement, Newsom’s press office called the White House deputy chief of staff a different “c” word.

“This fascist cuck in DC continues his assault on democracy and the Constitution, and his attempt to replace the sovereignty of the people with autocracy,” the office wrote on X.

— Governor Newsom Press Office (@GovPressOffice) July 12, 2025

The term “cuck,” which derives from the word “cuckold,” is used to describe a person whose spouse is engaging in sexual activity with another person. It’s also used as a more general insult towards men, suggesting weakness.

The comments were a possible reference to unsubstantiated online rumors that Miller’s wife, Katie Miller — who Musk selected as a Department of Government Efficiency official — had become romantically involved with the billionaire during his time as a special government employee.

When Musk stepped down from DOGE, Katie Miller also left, opting to take a new job at Musk’s artificial intelligence company, xAI.

Around the time his wife left DOGE, Miller posted on X defending Trump’s so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill,” which had been slammed heavily by Musk.

The official X account for the Democratic party reacted to this by posting an image known as the “cuck chair” meme, which is meant to represent a hotel room chair where a person would sit while watching their partner have sex with someone else.

On Friday, Newsom cheered on Frimpong’s ruling, saying ‘justice prevailed’ and that “California stands with the law and the Constitution,” calling on the “Trump Administration to do the same.”

“Sorry the Constitution hurt your feelings, Stephen,” his press office wrote on Friday. “Cry harder.”
