     #EdwardCoristine is among the most visible members of the #DOGE effort that has been given sweeping access to official networks as it attempts to radically downsize the U.S. government.

     Past reporting had focused on his youth - he is 19 - and his chosen nickname of "#BigBalls," which became a pop culture punchline. #Musk has championed the teen on his social media site X, telling his followers last month that "Big Balls is awesome."
