‘Big Balls’ bashing backfires on media after ‘wonderkid’ lands State Dept. job

February 11, 2025 | | Print Article

The media’s demonization of a 19-year-old member of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team has backfired with the attention to his skills instead landing the young man a new job at the State Department.

With the corrupt Democrats desperate to prevent their money laundering rackets through agencies like USAID from being uncovered, there is an all-out propaganda war on the Tesla/SpaceX CEO which includes the young geniuses tapped by Musk to audit the federal government who have been doxed and exposed to threats from the media hit squad.

One of them is Edward Coristine whose nickname “Big Balls” has been an obsession with CNN and other outlets, so much so that they inadvertently opened a new door for him that could also inspire other young people to seek careers in government which is badly in need of an infusion of newcomers dedicated to public service instead of grifting and ripping off taxpayers.

Now the Washington Post reports that he “has taken on new roles as a senior adviser at the State Department and at the Department of Homeland Security” and is further whipping up hysteria that the new job is “raising concerns among some diplomats and others about his potential access to sensitive information and the growing reach of his tech billionaire boss into America’s diplomatic apparatus.”

As is always the case with WaPo and other once-reputable mainstream outlets, the “concerns” are anonymously sourced, attributed to “U.S. officials familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue.”

“This is dangerous,” said one of the “officials” who wouldn’t give their name, complaining about the young man’s age and a Bloomberg hit piece reporting that “Big Balls” had previously been fired for “leaking a data security firm’s information to a competitor” with the insinuation being that he can’t be trusted with auditing the crooks.

Coristine can thank the likes of CNN’s Erin Burnett for bringing national attention to his talents, last week devoting an entire segment to his risque nickname along with other media talking heads including MSNBC racist Joy Reid also hyperventilating about “Big Balls.”

The DOGE smear offensive is just one more example for Americans that the media is not watching out for their best interests, devoting more time to the “Big Balls” nickname than the actual wasteful spending, fraud, and corruption that Musk’s team has uncovered in just a few short weeks, a story that in a country with a real press would be a national scandal that would lead to calls for accountability and major reforms.

Musk, who has now changed his X handle to Harry Bōlz, has been having a lot of fun with the nickname.

The Washington Post also quotes another anonymous “DHS official” who sounded the alarm that DOGE’s auditing of the gargantuan agency “may have significant national security implications.”

“They’re basically touching and breaking things without knowing what they are,” the person said.
