Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old technologist known by the online nickname "Big Balls," has resigned from his role in the U.S. government as part of Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Coristine was one of the first technologists hired by DOGE, an initiative focused on federal government cost-cutting and efficiency improvements. His resignation came shortly after Elon Musk's departure from the White House advisory role. Following his exit from DOGE, Coristine has been rehired by the Trump administration and now serves as a special government employee at the Social Security Administration (SSA). In this new position, he is tasked with identifying and addressing waste, fraud, and abuse within the agency that manages monthly benefits for approximately 70 million Americans. His appointment at the SSA is reportedly for a 130-day term. The White House and multiple media outlets have confirmed these developments, highlighting Coristine's rapid rise from a high school graduate to a key figure in federal government efficiency efforts.
