WASHINGTON ― Elon Musk’s teenage protégé has found a new home in the federal government weeks after Musk’s departure.
Edward Coristine, the 19-year-old known as “Big Balls,” has landed at the Social Security Administration following his stint in the General Services Administration as a minion of Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency.”
A spokesperson for Social Security said Coristine joined the agency this week as a special government employee, meaning his term is limited to 130 days.
“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,” Social Security spokesperson Stephen McGraw said in an email.
The Social Security Administration was the site of some of Musk’s most controversial work while he led the DOGE initiative in the early months of President Donald Trump’s second term.
