Musk Protege ‘Big Balls’ Joins Social Security Administration

Edward Coristine, nicknamed "Big Balls," a 19-year-old technologist initially hired by Elon Musk to work in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has recently joined the Social Security Administration (SSA) as a special government employee. His role focuses on improving the Social Security website and enhancing service efficiency for the American people. Coristine's move comes shortly after his resignation from DOGE and follows controversies during Musk’s leadership of DOGE, including false claims about fraudulent Social Security benefits and operational changes that sparked public backlash. Observers at the SSA reported seeing Coristine on-site at the agency's Woodlawn headquarters, often accompanied by Aram Moghaddassi, another Musk-associated engineer. Coristine appeared nervous during these sightings, and his re-hiring came quickly after his resignation earlier the same week. This appointment reflects continued Musk influence within government efficiency initiatives under President Donald Trump's administration.
