Power Over "Large Testicles" Ceases [Latest: Could Power Over "Large Testicles" Persist?]

Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old who held senior advisor roles at various federal agencies, had extensive access to sensitive government data and systems. His positions spanned the Bureau of Diplomatic Technology at the U.S. Department of State, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and the United States Agency for International Development, among others[1].

However, Coristine's background was controversial. Reports indicated connections with cybercrime-related online communities ("The Com") and facilitation of services for a cybercriminal group known as EGodly through his content delivery network DiamondCDN[1]. EGodly, which allegedly used Coristine's network for DDoS protection and secure hosting, was involved in activities such as email hacking and cryptocurrency theft[1].

Coristine's tenure in government, which involved high-level access, came under scrutiny due to his young age, brash attitude, and questionable background. His appointment raised concerns about oversight and security. In mid-2025, Coristine resigned from the U.S. government amid controversy over his role and the broader Musk-led DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), which he was a key member of[1][2].

Prior to his government role, Coristine worked for Elon Musk's company Neuralink and was a Special Government Employee, allowing him to work up to 130 days a year without strict financial disclosures[1]. It's unclear what Coristine, or anyone affiliated with DOGE, has done with the data he had access to.

The company LesserEvil, owned by Charles Coristine, Edward's father, distanced itself from Edward Coristine in February, stating it is not affiliated with any political figures, policies, or groups[1]. In a separate incident, LesserEvil was sued in 2023 for representing its snacks as "healthier" than other junk food[1].
