Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Monday, February 24, 2025

Among the cadre of DOGE engineers now rooting through the guts of the administrative state, few have attracted more curiosity than Edward "Big Balls" Coristine, a 19-year-old coder who interned for three months for Neuralink, Elon Musk's brain implant company. Coristine has a brief but colorful history that includes being fired from Path Networks, a cybersecurity company, for giving company documents to a competitor. He apparently palled around with a criminal hacking group called The Com and, according to a Telegram account associated with him, had solicited hacking services online. In 2021, he founded a company called Tesla.Sexy LLC that, according to Wired, "controls dozens of web domains, including at least two Russian-registered domains. One of those domains, which is still active, offers a service called Helfie, which is an AI bot for Discord servers targeting the Russian market."

There's one aspect of Coristine's background that has escaped public notice: his grandfather, Valery Martynov, was a KGB spy who played an intriguing role in a sprawling 1980s espionage drama.

Well at least he wasn't a slave owner, like every white American.
