A young technician who is known online as “big balls”, which works for the so -called efficiency of the Elvan Maskan government (DOGE), has access to sensitive US government systems. But security experts tell Wired whether his professional and online history raises the question of whether he approves the background that is usually needed to obtain security journals.
Edward Coristine, a 19 -year -old high school graduate, has established at least five different companies in the past four years with the registered institutions in Connecticat, Delaware and the United Kingdom, most of which were not listed in LinkedIn. The Coristine profile also briefly worked in Path Network in 2022, a network monitoring company known for hiring Blackhat modified hackers. The person who also uses a telegram tied to Coristine also asked for a cyber service that year.
Coristine did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
One of the established Coristine companies, Tesla.sexy LLC, was set up in 2021, when he was about 16 years old. According to the business records reviewed by the Wired, Coristine is mentioned as the founder and CEO of the company.
Tesla.sexy LLC controls dozens of web areas, including at least two Russian registered areas. One of these areas, which is still active, offers a service called Helfie, which is an artificial intelligence robot for the Discord servers that target the Russian market.

Before joining DOGE, Coristine worked for a few months 2024 to launch neuralink Elon Musk brain planting, and as previously reported, now in the staff of the staff as “expert” in that agency That is, overseeing personnel issues for the federal government of the Public Services Office, they also joined the calls they joined to justify their job and review the code they wrote.
Government security experts say other elements of the Coristine personal record reviewed by the Wired, as well as raising questions about obtaining security permits to access privileged government data. The same experts are more surprised at the process of reviewing DOGE employees – and according to the history of Coristine, whether he has been under any background examination.
The White House immediately did not answer questions about the clearance level, if any, and if so, how it was awarded.
