Democrat asks who will get 'Big Balls' in Musk, Trump 'divorce'

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) sarcastically highlighted President Trump and billionaire Elon Musk’s apparent rift over the “big, beautiful” spending bill during a hearing Wednesday by posing the question: What will happen to the teen tech wunderkind infamously known as “Big Balls”?
“Now that the national divorce is happening … who’s gonna get ‘Big Balls’?” Moskowitz asked during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing. “I’m worried about him. The children always get caught in the middle.”
“If he’s out there, I just want him to know we are rooting for him,” the Florida Democrat added, referring to himself as “also a child of divorce.”
Edward Coristine, the 19-year-old known online as “Big Balls,” was brought onto the White House’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with his mentor Musk earlier this year near the start of Trump’s second presidency. He quickly drew attention for his age, the scope of his role in handling government information and his online moniker.
Coristine’s account on the social platform X is now set to private. The White House and federal Office of Personnel Management didn’t immediately respond to The Hill’s queries about the status of his employment with the federal government.
