After their recent confrontation with security officials and the staff of the United States Agency for International Development ( USAID), Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency was immediately identified as being of their generation. Although Elon Musk and Donald Trump want to stop USAID, concerns are raised about whether for young people should be given access to the sensitive government information they need, as well as whether they even need to obtain government clearance.
Edward Coristine, the youngest DOGE employee, is known as” Big Balls.”
According to reports, the youngest of DOGE workers as of now is 19-year-old Edward Coristine whose website name is’ Great Balls’. In the last four decades, he established at least five different businesses with documented names in both the United Kingdom and Connecticut. Coristine briefly worked in 2022 at Path Network, which is known for hiring convicted and reformed thieves.
According to a Designed report, one of the firms Coristine founded in 2021, when he should have been 16 years older, is named Tesla. Beautiful LLC. This business controls dozens of online regions, including at least two Russian-registered regions. ” One of those regions, which is still effective, offers a company called Helfie, which is an AI app for Discord machines targeting the Russian market”, Plugged reported.
Coristine worked for a number of weeks in 2024 at Elon Musk’s business for Neuralink brain implants before joining DOGE. She is then listed in the Office of Personnel Management’s information as an analyst at the organization. The 19-year-old officially joined names from the General Services Administration employees to defend their jobs.
Coristine was a freshman executive main at Northeastern University before he joined DOGE. Although his friends know him for being very excited, they are unsure as to what direction he will take in politics.
A source close to Coristine told The Huntington News ( Northeastern’s student paper ) that “he just thinks Elon Muzk is a genius entrepreneur and admired his work” and “wanted to follow his footsteps in the entrepreneurial space.” They confirmed that Musk was the teen’s “idol”.
A friend even told the paper that Coristine came across as politically “independent”, but didn’t typically discuss politics.
” He’s really excited about what he does”, the companion told the Huntington. ” Obviously, he’s very excited about computer technology, and he’s trying to fight that passion. He excels at it because he is certainly very accomplished for someone his years, only a freshman in college. He’s now done thus much”.
” Through high school, his purpose was never really to go to school”, it said. He “really only wanted to create his unique point, like Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg.”
No one among Coristine’s school companions knew that Musk had left him. They added that Coristine suggested he was planning to work for his dad, Charles Coristine, who is the CEO of the heath meal business LesserEvil.
