Stephen Miller Owns Up to $250,000 in Palantir Stock, Report Finds

Palantir is reportedly building a mega-database of Americans’ personal information for the Trump administration.

Stephen Miller, the architect of Trump’s fascist immigration policy, owns between $100,000 and $250,000 in stock in Palantir, according to a new financial disclosure first reported by watchdog group Project on Government Oversight (POGO).

Palantir is a major contractor for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), meaning that it is likely that Miller’s ownership of Palantir stock represents a major conflict of interest. Experts told POGO that even if he hasn’t directly had dealings with Palantir through his work, the firm is too close to the policies he oversees for him to own the stock without the appearance of impropriety.

Further, as a recent New York Times report found, Palantir and its Foundry software may actually be deployed in some way in at least four different federal agencies. The goal of the partnership with Palantir, the report says, is to create a centralized database to gather and compile vast amounts of information on all Americans — a wide-reaching project that critics have said is unprecedented and a “surveillance nightmare.”

Similarly, though he’s well-known for his role in immigration policy, Miller also has vast authority within the administration. His “portfolio covers almost every issue Trump is interested in,” The Wall Street Journal recently reported. “Even some posts at cabinet agencies have been described by administration officials as reporting directly to Miller, effectively bypassing cabinet secretaries.”

They want to turn the U.S. into a version of Musk's childhood home; that being apartheid South Africa.

I don't believe that the Millers severed communication with each other or that *rump just wrote oligarch Musk and his billions off, the Millers are just operating as his back channel.

Musk and Stephen Miller seem too intimate from an ideological perspective for me to believe otherwise.

On May 29, 2025, CBS News revealed that Miller would leave the Trump White House, to work on a full-time basis for Musk.[15] Miller departed when Musk left and severed his communications with her husband after a dispute began between Musk and the administration wherein her husband was a close communication link
