He’s back, baby! Edward Coristine, the 19-year-old nicknamed “Big Balls” who was one of the original members of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has joined the Social Security Administration.
The agency announced on Thursday that Coristine has been hired in a temporary role as a special government employee — this is a temporary role that typically runs for 130 days or less within a 365-day period. This comes on the heels of reports that the teen wonder was no longer with DOGE.
“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 a statement.
A message to all the Woke Liberals who recently laughed and said:
“Big Balls left @DOGE.”
You’re wrong.
Big Balls, aka Edward Coristine, has taken a new role and is now an official employee of the Social Security Administration. He will be working full-time to identify waste,… pic.twitter.com/CiyBlEuW2P

“Big Balls,” who once declared that there were “no checks and no accountability” in federal spending, gained notoriety when the media seized upon his youth and inexperience to discredit the cost-cutting efforts being made by DOGE.
The Social Security Administration did not respond to a question about whether Coristine was still reporting to DOGE, according to NBC News.
In a light-hearted response to his new gig, a “Big Balls” parody account shared the following post on X:

Social media users suggested in response to the post that Coristine was “not the hero we deserve but the hero that we need.”

HELL YES!!!!!
AMERICA NEEDS MORE PEOPLE LIKE BIG BALLS!!!!
In all seriousness, the US government needs to better incentivize talented people to work for it.

Gotta respect how this kid already did more for government accountability before 20 than 90% of the federal workforce will do in a lifetime.

I love this. There were probably things he could not explore and fix as a member of DOGE. Now he has the keys to the kingdom, nothing will be off-limits. More fraud will end, more corruption will get eliminated, less oxygen to the lefty deep state. Love it.

I never thought I would say this but I’m glad part of my future retirement is in big balls hands. These young men are patriots
