'Big Balls' No Longer Works for the US Government [View all]

Edward “Big Balls” Coristine, one of the first technologists hired as part of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), is no longer working for the federal government, according to multiple sources.

“Edward Coristine resigned yesterday,” a White House official tells WIRED.

Coristine received full-time employment status at the GSA late last month, as reported by WIRED. As of Tuesday afternoon, his Google Suite account with the General Services Administration (GSA) was no longer active, according to a source with direct knowledge. His name also no longer appears on a White House contact list of current DOGE employees on the federal payroll maintained by a senior administration official, the official says.

In May, Coristine appeared to be attending regular meetings with departments and agencies, including a May 5 meeting with the Commerce Department to discuss Trump’s golden Visa, a May 15 meeting to discuss implementing the DOGE agenda at the military, and a May 22 meeting with the Treasury Department. He was listed on a report regarding the GSA workforce on June 10. That report comes out once a month.

I wonder what he’s going to do with all the personal data he probably squirreled away.
