Elon Musk Staffer ‘Big Balls’ Joining Social Security Administration
Edward Coristine, the staff of the Government Ministry of Government (DOGE) known as “Big Balls”, took a new position at the Social Security Administration (SSA) after having resigned from his previous post earlier this week.
Coristin movements in the federal government have been carefully monitored and reported by Wired, which first broke the history of Coristine’s resignation and the SSA move.
Nowsweek Contacted the White House and the SSA to comment by e-mail outside of normal office hours on Friday evening.
Why it matters
Coristine, a 19 -year -old technological genius, came to the forefront of the Doge of Elon Musk initiative because of his age and nickname, which attracted many online mockery – even if Coristine worked on some of the most sensitive systems and agencies in the federal government.
He has held health and social services, the General Services Administration and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency. He also participated in DOGE operations in the American agency for international development, citizenship and immigration services in the United States and the Ministry of Education.
Before joining the federal government, Coristine was registered with the Northeastern University as a student in engineering, and he worked in a data security company, where he was dismissed after a survey linked him to a leak of data presumed to a competitor, according to The goalkeeper.
He also founded at least five companies in several jurisdictions, including Connecticut, Delaware and the United Kingdom, including Tesla.sexy LLC, which he recorded at the age of 16.
Coristine’s departure occurs while several other Doge employees leave following Musk’s return to the private sector, notably Steve Davis, who directed Doge’s daily operations.

What to know
SSA employees told Wired that they had seen Catistine at the SSA headquarters in Woodlawn, Maryland, before resigning from her post, which the White House confirmed on Tuesday.
However, The New York Times indicated that the declaration was modified to note that he had only resigned from his post with the General Services Administration, which coordinates many Doge activities.
In a statement at the point of sale, SSA spokesperson Stephen McGraw said that Coristine had joined the agency as a special government employee whose work will focus on “improving the functionality of the Social Security website and the progression of our mission to provide more effective service to the American people.
As an employee of the Special Government, Coristine will allow “important, but limited, but limited, with government, with or without compensation, for a period not exceeding 130 days” within one year.
What people say
The right -wing journalist Nick Sortor wrote on X: “Let’s go! Edward” Big Balls “Coristine is now working full time in the Social Security Administration by identifying waste, fraud and creeping abuses that afflict the agency.”
