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.

I wonder what back-doors into Federal computers, and for the benefit of what entities, he may be leaving behind?

Somehow Musk hiring the grandson of a member of the KGB, who has been fired for leaking information from companies he's worked at to their competitors, isn't at all surprising and I doubt a single Musk/Trump support will object.

1MuskCuck has already weighed in to call Americans slave owners as justification for Edward Coristine having access to the personal information of every American and access to all the servers at the federal government.

Well, if you were actually an American, you'd care that Russia is sinking it's claws in this country, and not for the better.

Kinda hard to have owned slaves when your ancestors didn't come to America until after slavery was abolished. That's not the flex you think it is.

OOPSIE DAISY
