Less than three years before Elon Musk tapped him to take part in a sweeping overhaul of the US government, Edward Coristine, then 17, was the subject of a heated dispute between two executives at the Arizona-based cybersecurity firm where he was an intern.
At issue was whether to allow Coristine to keep his job even though he was suspected of leaking proprietary information to a competitor.
“You’re willing to risk our entire network to a 17-year-old?” one frustrated executive asked the company’s CEO in 2022. “Are you for real right now?”
In a recording of the call, reviewed by CNN, Marshal Webb, the CEO of Path Network, a company that offers services to protect businesses from cyberattacks, defended his decision.
He said he wanted to allow Coristine to continue with his internship, in part, because he didn’t want to make him “an enemy” or have him “running amok” with information he was suspected of taking. Webb allowed him to stay with the proviso that the young employee “not be exposed to anything that’s really sensitive.”
That was then.
Today, the 19-year-old, once known by the online moniker “Big Balls,” is part of Musk’s controversial effort to remake the federal government. He is a “senior advisor” with access to various departments, including Homeland Security, FEMA and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency.

'Big Balls' discussed on tape 3 years ago
Is that all ya' got? 😂😂🤣
controversial.....@@ DRINK @@
So these “news” organizations can find out every detail about some kid but weren’t able to find evidence that Biden has been brain dead for years.
Was anything ever proven?
Boy they are just determined to destroy this kid. No wonder CNN is having massive layoffs.
CNNs True colors revealed
“he didn’t want to make him “an enemy” or have him “running amok””
It’s like CNN is too stupid to realize that this just solidifies BB’s bonafides as a bad ass?
Doin’ their best Alinsky.
Now let's review. Democrats and Deep State representatives are against Musk and his team reviewing the computer records. It is all about “trust” and “faith.” They don't want to discuss what has been discovered or should I say “uncovered.” In a relationship this is typically called “gas-lighting.”
They seem to be obsessed with Big Balls
But Musk is unelected, don’t you understand???? s/
CNN is really desperate, that said, I don’t like hearing this guy leaked the confidential information of his employer, it shows both poor judgment and a lack of character.
Hopefully he’s matured since then.
“They seem to be obsessed with Big Balls”
They’re all trans activist, they’ve had their balls removed.
Meanwhile Antifa is posting explosive manuals, so good the scumbags at CNN have their priorities straight.
This will work out as a “humble brag”.
“You’re willing to risk our entire network to a 17-year-old?”
17. He was only 17 and already he was performing cutting edge work at a data security firm.
The kind of work most people get a PhD to perform, he was doing at 17.
Their criticism just promoted the idea that he’s some kind of computer genius.
If they have no proof and they made this public the company is open to slander.
Does Pooty-Poot run the Commie News Network?
Who is the J6 “Bomber”?
What’s more interesting to me is the clear evidence that CNN and the rest of the communist apparatchiks in media and government are scared to death of a 19-year-old.
