One of DOGE’s best-known workers Edward Coristine, 19, quits a month after his former boss Elon Musk’s departure
19-year-old Edward Coristine, has resigned from the US government, a White House official said on Tuesday, a month after the acrimonious departure of his former boss Elon Musk.
Last month, Reuters reported that Coristine was one of two Doge associates promoting the use of AI across the federal bureaucracy. Media outlets, including Wired which first reported his departure, revealed that Coristine had been active in a chat room popular with hackers and previously had been fired from a job following an alleged data leak.
In March, Reuters reported that Coristine had provided tech support to a cybercrime gang that had bragged about trafficking in stolen data and harassing an FBI agent.
I sure hope cases are opened up against lackeys like this. As long as the real problems are unreachable by the law (like fElon and Taco), making examples of those carrying out this stuff should hopefully give other lackeys pause…
Maybe people are waiting until after Taco is out of power (assuming that happens) so he cannot be pardoned.
The current everything at the federal level is corrupt and openly political instead of neutral. Would be unlikely that anything happens as it should for the next 4y at minimum.
