A 19-year-old acolyte of Elon Musk known online as Big Balls is listed as having taken on a new role at the State Department, raising concerns among some diplomats about his potential access to sensitive information and the growing reach of his tech billionaire boss into Americas diplomatic apparatus, said U.S. officials familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive issue.
Edward Coristine, who briefly worked for Musks brain-chip start-up, Neuralink, is posted as a senior adviser to the State Departments Bureau of Diplomatic Technology, a critical hub for data - both sensitive and nonsensitive, officials said. Coristine, who also holds positions at the U.S. DOGE Service and the Office of Personnel Management, has attracted significant attention across Washington for his edgy online persona and the relative lack of experience he brings to his new federal roles.
But his new position could give him visibility into far more than just tech.
Some U.S. officials expressed alarm about Coristines new perch at the bureau, which serves as the IT department for Washingtons diplomatic apparatus. All of the departments IT and data management functions were centralized at the bureau during an overhaul before President Donald Trump returned to office, making it a treasure trove of information.

(1,267 posts)There is no way these Musk bros have proper security clearance to have this kind of access to all of these departments especially confidential and sensitive State Department communications
Once you let them in they will find ways to subvert normal security and lock out the people who would normally audit access etc...
