Technologist Edward Coristine, a key operative in Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency nicknamed “Big Balls” has resigned according to the White House

There is no credible or verifiable information available about a technologist named Edward Coristine serving as a key operative in any "Department of Government Efficiency" under Elon Musk, nor is there any such official department known to exist. Additionally, there is no record of the White House announcing the resignation of an individual by that name or nickname. The claim appears to be fabricated or satirical, as it combines unverifiable elements, including an unusual department name and a nickname that is not typical for official government communications.

Sources: Based on general knowledge and absence of any credible sources or official announcements.
