Overview

  • Edward Coristine resigned from the Department of Government Efficiency and had his federal Google account deactivated, according to multiple government sources.
  • At 19, Coristine worked briefly at Neuralink, founded Tesla.Sexy LLC and was among the first technologists Elon Musk hired for DOGE.
  • During his tenure, he attended interagency meetings with the Commerce and Treasury Departments and military officials to advance the initiative’s policy agenda.
  • Coristine’s Tesla.Sexy LLC owns several domains registered in Russia and a Telegram account linked to him reportedly solicited a distributed denial of service attack.
  • Elon Musk left government service last month, followed by Steve Davis of the Boring Company, leaving DOGE’s future in doubt as other probationary hires face potential dismissal.
