CNN decided to dedicate a segment of “Erin Burnett Outfront” on Thursday to a topic that’s clearly at the forefront of national concern: a teenager’s online moniker.
Instead of tackling the monumental waste of taxpayer dollars or the inefficiencies plaguing government agencies, CNN chose to spotlight Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old high school graduate with the online alias “Big Balls,” who’s now part of Elon Musk’s “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE).
Wired’s global editorial director, Katie Drummond, shared the “groundbreaking” news with host Erin Burnett.
“This is a 19-year-old high school graduate who has used the unfortunate nickname, uh, ‘Big Balls’ online,” Drummond revealed, perhaps hoping to win a Pulitzer for investigative journalism.
Even funnier, the TV chyron displayed reads, “DOGE teen, known online as ‘Big Balls,’ now a government ‘expert.’”
Looks like these liberal women are living on a humor-free diet with a side of perpetual grumpiness.
Drummond continued:
“He is now working at Musk’s behest inside DOGE and we looked into his background, and so we found, you know, several notable things, Erin.
One of which is that this individual has founded multiple companies, including one with another unfortunate name, uh, “Tesla Dot Sexy LLC,” which he established in 2021. He would have been around 16 years old.
Now, this LLC controls dozens of web domains, a handful of which are registered to Russia.
Now that in and of itself is not necessarily illegal, but every expert we’ve spoke to said that that is exactly the kind of thing, those kinds of foreign connections, that would raise red flags on a background check.
Now, he also worked at a network monitoring firm that is known for hiring reformed black hat hackers, essentially criminals, and lastly we uncovered Telegram messages that we’ve linked to this individual in which that Telegram user is soliciting a cyber attack for hire.”

Elon Musk himself couldn’t resist joining the fray, mocking the segment on X. “This was actually on TV,” Musk tweeted, followed by a series of laughing emojis.

Musk continued his online jest, responding to a tweet revealing supposed names of other DOGE staffers: Harry Bōlz, Dick Hurtz, Ligma Johnson, and Biggus Dickus. Musk’s response? “Oh no, I can’t believe they doxxed DOGE.”
