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 ?

Just got mail today from them saying they’ll be looking at my disability claims… I had a double lung transplant and need expensive meds for the rest of my life, but if they find I’m not disabled anymore I have no idea how I will be able to afford my anti-rejection meds especially because the criteria they listed was very vague like “condition has improved” which absolutely can happen while still being disabled

Hm. Must be an easy guy to find with a name like that. It would be a shame if people who hate dirty little nazi fuckheads got a hold of his personal information. I hope that doesn't happen.
