Edward Coristine, 19, has been given a job at Social Security Administration after quitting Elon Musk’s ‘department’

Edward Coristine – the 19-year-old who quit Elon Musk’s controversial so-called “department of government efficiency” (Doge) earlier this week, where he gained notoriety in part for having used the online moniker “Big Balls” – has in fact been given a new government job, this time at the Social Security Administration (SSA).

Coristine, whose lack of experience and super-loyalty to Musk saw him become a flashpoint for outrage at Doge’s ruthless but haphazard efforts to slash government spending and fire thousands of workers, resigned from Doge earlier this week.

However a spokesperson for the SSA, Stephen McGraw, told Wired magazine that Coristine was now working for that department.

      Same reason mass murderers get airtime. Entertainment and horror.

      This guy has already broken hundreds of laws, and will continue to harm many. He is from the super rich , and will have a life of luxury, superb health care and will outlive most of his critics. Is that not news worthy enough ?
