Big Balls is back!
Edward Coristine, AKA, ‘Big Balls’ is back after it was reported earlier this week that had resigned from his position at DOGE.
Last month Edward Coristine stepped into the spotlight for the first time after a coordinated media meltdown over his name.
The 19-year-old coder was a rising star in Elon Musk’s DOGE team and made his first public appearance last month on Jesse Watters Primetime during a no-holds-barred roundtable.
On Thursday, Wired reported that ‘Big Balls’ is back and now at the Social Security Administration.
Wired reported:
Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, one of the first young technologists brought on to Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has returned to government shortly after resigning.
“Edward Coristine joined the Social Security Administration this week as a special government employee,” Stephen McGraw, an SSA spokesperson, tells WIRED. “His work will be focused on improving the functionality of the Social Security website and advancing our mission of delivering more efficient service to the American people.”
Multiple sources at the SSA tell WIRED that Coristine has appeared in person to work onsite at the agency’s Woodlawn, Maryland, headquarters. One SSA employee says they saw Coristine with DOGE engineer Aram Moghaddassi, a current X and former Neuralink employee deployed at the agency. The pair was spotted at the SSA cafeteria as recently as Monday, although it’s unclear what day this week Coristine’s employment officially began. “Coristine looked nervous, almost embarrassed,” the SSA source says. “Aram was on the phone with someone … then said, ‘Yes, I’m with him right now,’ gesturing to Big Balls.”
